Hope

Hope for the Hopeless - That's what Jesus Christ came to give two thousand years ago. And still He is the same. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Hopeless
Today men in this world are hopeless, because of sin, sickness, poverty, anxiety, fear among a whole lot of others.

Sin: sin and addiction cripples people and slowly strangles them to death. People feel hopeless as they don't find a way to come out of it.

Sickness: You may have a job, a car and may live in luxury. Yet this sickness robs you of all pleasure and leaves you totally *sick* bedridden. Hopeless!

Poverty: This is another major ailment: see Proverbs 30:8-10 , Proverbs 28:6 It leaves you hopeless.

Anxiety: Synonyms are worries about tomorrow, unwanted worries etc.

Fear: Fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of evil etc.

The Good News

The Good news is that Jesus Christ has promised hope to the hopeless. Remember the woman at the well, He saw herself as a woman who brought her whole village to Christ. Remember the 38 year sick man at the pool of Bethesda. Remember the Lord at the tomb of Lazarus. Remember the Lord who met Peter when he was casting his nets after His resurrection.

He sees a new You. He has given all that you need to live a victorious life. Salvation, Gifts and the Anointing and the ever-present Helper.

Why then people are still hopeless? : A Price to Pay

Obedience, discipline and a total Surrender is required. Remember, No one can serve two masters.
Hope you will take this message. Jesus said: For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light! (Matt-11:29-30)
