1 Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope. (NKJV)
Sports fans are always filled with hope – at least when the season begins. We are sure this year is going to be the year. We will win every big game and make it to the championship. The coach is going to be great. The team is going to perform at its highest level at all times. More often than not, reality comes calling and our hopes are dashed. We are left disappointed – until the next year.
We all want to find hope. We want to believe that good things will happen in the future – that everything is going to be okay. What we recognize is that hope is not found in our circumstances. Hope is a person. It is Jesus. He gives hope, because He hold the future in His hands. We can count on Him.
