Romans 8:24, For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for.
As we journey through life we have all types of hopes and dreams for the future. A future to whee there will be joy and fullfilment. Some of our hopes may have been like on the first day of school, meeting a new friend, first day of high school, hoping to get through. Maybe the first day of a new job hoping to be successful. Them meeting that special someone, hoping to live forever happily ever after. All of a sudden one day you look around and say now what. All the things I've hoped for are now done. So you look around and say what now. Once a person has in their possession that which was hoped for then that hope has become reality, it is no longer hoped for, and there is no more anticipation.
Hope means to anticipate with confidence. We can be absolutely sure in the finished work Christ did at Calvary that day.
In the book of Titus in chapter 2:13, we are looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and Savior Jesus Christ. We are anticipating with great confidence because of the written Word of God tells us that He will come again and receive us unto Himself.
Phillipians 3:21 says that He will fashion our vile body like unto His glorious body according to the working where by He is able to subdue all things unto Himself.
The saved by grace will one day be taken away. Jesus will take our pain, weeping and our tears and wipe them all away. We look for a city in the heavenlies, a city not made with hands (human). We wait for our Redeemer. Until then we'll wait with great anticipation and patience for The One who is altogether lovely.
So in closing, how's your hope. Once we see Him our hope will no longer be hope but will be standing right in front of us. |
