There is hope

As we read the news in the paper and on the internet, it often causes us to lose hope. People want peace and prosperity, and they misunderstand everything around them. No government and no man-made peace plan is going to work. Truly there is no hope...in these plans. In Luke 19:41-44 the Jews had rejected the original peace and prosperity plan...Jesus. 41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”---However, there is hope. Jesus then turned to the Gentiles to offer salvation. The door is still open to all who will receive Christ. Peace and prosperity will come, but it will have nothing to do with the plans of men; it will be the Master's Plan. Where is your hope? Pay attention to the Passion story of Jesus this week. Read the Scriptures for understanding of End Times. It is written. In the end there is reason for great joy for those that are "in Christ Jesus."
