Along the way I’ve discovered that one of the many benefits of believing in Jesus is a life lived in hope—hope for today, hope for tomorrow, hope for eternity.
To be honest, there are days when this world’s struggles and trials do their best to weigh me down, tearing at my joy, clawing at my happiness, but in those dark moments I find myself clinging even more closely to the faith I have in Jesus—the assurance of one day living in ...the new earth filled with God’s brilliant glory. This amazing hope is a constant ray of sunshine in a cold, dark world, lighting up even the darkest corners, reminding me that one day the darkness will be banished and God’s light will forever shine on a fully renewed and totally transformed earth.
That morning, nearly 2,000 years ago, that Jesus rose from the grave, forever conquering death, all heaven joined the celebration—a raucous celebration that pronounced the final victory over darkness and death. Because of Jesus’ victory, no matter how dark this world becomes, I know I serve a God Who walked through that darkness and rose into glorious God-light.
And here’s the best part: Our victorious Jesus invites us to share in His victory over death, to join Him in the life-giving rays of that glorious God-light. So join me as I accept Jesus’ invitation and join in the victory celebration, claiming His victory as my own, and conquering death through the power of my resurrected Lord.
Final Thought: I live a joyful life of faith, confident in Christ’s victory, a victory that was accomplished though His death and resurrection, giving me the assurance of eternal communion with God—eternity overflowing with His perfect glory and grace.See More
