Living Hope

Hope. It’s become a frail and weakened concept. The consistency of hope being deferred or hope being disappointed has taken a toll on our society. Are we speaking of a hope or a wish though? There’s a big difference between the two! To hope is something that is grounded in possibility or even probability. To actively hope in Christ, is to live and work in confidence with an eternal perspective on all the events of our life. As expectations are disappointed through life, how do we continue to live a hope-filled existence? We have to examine the object of our hope and the longevity of perspective as well. We’ll allow the scripture to speak to this critical concept as we continue in this season of advent.
