Hope still wins
The recent tragic events in Afghanistan, the response from the Commander in Chief to such tragedies, the despair experienced by veterans and civilians alike lead to a question, “Is hope still available?”
Several military personnel and civilians were killed on August 26, 2021, and yet I am here to enforce this truth, hope still remains, hope still exists, hope still wins.
“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air...but only for one second without hope.” This is a quote from Hal Lindsey (Harold Lee Lindsey, November 23, 1929 DOB / American Evangelist).
What do you think about this quote? We need hope, we cannot survive without it for more than a second, perhaps even less time than that. If there is no hope, there is no reason. Many of you reading this may feel convinced that there is no more hope, or perhaps there is only a false sense of hope.
We have the only living hope, found in the person of Jesus Christ. In John 15:13 we read these words from Jesus, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (King James Version).
Our brave servicemembers sacrificed their lives, they are honored, we have hope in their service, even in their death. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ gave His life for the sin of the world, so we would not perish but have eternal life forever with Him.
Do you have this only living hope found in Jesus?
