The Confidence of Hope and the Pain of Separation

DAY 2 OF 7

The Confidence of Hope

Christ’s resurrection is not only a historical event but a promise for us. Because Jesus rose, we know that those who have placed their faith in Him will also rise. This is our hope. Even in the midst of death, we can hold onto this confident expectation that death is not final—it is a doorway to eternal life with God. The empty tomb assures us that the grave will not hold us forever. This promise isn’t a distant theological concept; it’s a present reality that brings hope in our darkest moments.

As we grieve the loss of our loved ones, we do so with the confidence that their story does not end in the grave. We have the assurance that they are with the Lord and that one day, we will see them again.

Reflection:

How does the resurrection of Jesus change your perspective on death?

The Confidence of Hope and the Pain of Separation

Grief is an emotion that touches the deepest parts of our souls, and this has been profoundly true for me since I lost my precious 21-year-old daughter, Jenita, on July 14th, 2024. The pain of losing someone so dear, so young, is indescribable. Every day is a reminder of the ache that comes with the absence of her presence, her laughter, her love. And yet, as I walk this painful road, I find myself held by a hope that does not disappoint—a hope rooted in Christ.
