The world lacks hope. Human beings are clamouring to fill their empty lives with things that will not satisfy. Young people are only after fun that they never have enough. So much so, they fall into all kinds of addictions and end up being miserable and hopeless. People need to know that Jesus came to bring hope, that He is our hope, and that our hope is a Person. Paul describes Jesus Christ as “our hope” (1 Timothy 1:1) and “the blessed hope” (Titus 2:13). Jesus not only came to bring hope. He is our hope. We have hope because Jesus forgave us. Knowing Jesus brings contentment that material possessions can never give and brings joy and peace regardless of the circumstances.
“For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
