Where Our Hope Lies

I came across a fascinating list of questions lately that all have the same answer. Can you guess what it is?

* What gives a widow courage as she stands beside a fresh grave?

* What is the ultimate hope of the cripple, the amputee, the abused, or the burn victim?

* How can parents of a brain-damaged or physically handicapped child keep from living their lives totally and completely depressed?

* Where do the thoughts of a young couple go when they finally recover from the terrible grief of losing their baby?

* When a family receives the tragic news that a dad was killed in a plane crash or a son overdosed on drugs, what single truth becomes its whole focus?

* What is the final answer to pain, mourning, senility, insanity, terminal diseases, sudden calamities, and fatal accidents?

The answer to each of these questions is the hope God gives us because of the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. The pivotal point in all of human history is the resurrection of Christ. The one thing that separates Christianity from other religions is that God conquered death. Since Jesus Christ has defeated death, He can offer eternal life to all who believe in Him!

He is risen! Yes, Christ is risen indeed!
