People are disappointed.
The writer Henry David Thoreau said this: The mass of men live lives of quiet desperation. And he wrote those words in 1849. How interesting that these words could easily be written today. I would put it this way, more simply: most people live disappointed lives.
As children, we have dreams! Ask a 7-year-old what they want to be and their dreams are big and exciting. Anything seems possible. But the reality of life, the brokenness of the world, our mistakes and our failures—so many things get in the way of our dreams. Sometimes our dreams come true and we discover we’re still disappointed!
Jesus said something similar to Thoreau. He saw the crowds and He said, They are harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
And that is why Jesus came. He said, I’ve come that you may have life and have it to the full.
Life that is truly life!
This is why we share hope. It is the greatest gift you could give any human being, even the most disappointed people in your life.
