VISION ALWAYS PRODUCES HOPE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW
Throughout history, we see that whenever God had a vision for Israel, He first generated in his people a feeling of hope. In the same way today, because of what Christ has already done, what He is doing, and what He has prepared, the vision produces in us a hope for a better tomorrow.
How many times was Jesus interrupted by people who saw the difficulty? "The girl is dead", "the man is blind", "this person is an adulterer or corrupt" How many times did they tell Jesus that people were limited because of their sin?
I love Jesus' answer! Again and again He saw possibilities instead of obstacles. He made them understand that these situations were not for death, but for His father to glorify Himself.
What do you see for your tomorrow, today? Hope or despair? Opportunities or difficulties?
What Christ has already done for us enables us to achieve what is ahead of us.
It is important for us to understand that our justification does not happen because of our good behavior, nor from the things we do or how good we are. It already happened through faith, because of what Christ has already done.
God has given us a vision of redemption, a vision of new levels, and that produces hope for our future. It doesn't matter what the political situation, corruption, or crisis is in your nation or the whole world. We have hope because God has a vision for all mankind, and you and I are included in what He has already begun to do.
Change in a nation does not depend on politicians, but on a people who are full of hope and love their neighbors. Do not criticize, do not murmur, do not turn your back on need, do not say that we will not get out of the crisis, because there is always hope in Christ Jesus. He goes before you. He will do what you cannot do. He will close the mouth of the lion and open new opportunities for your family and your life.
What do you see in your day tomorrow? I see hope in the Church, in this generation, and in our nations. Let us not live by sight, but by faith.
