Why Jesus Is The Greatest Gift Ever! (PT 3)

LIVING HOPEFUL in TOUGH TIMES

“…And his name will be the Hope of All the World.” ~Matt 12:21

WHAT IS HOPE?

HOPE means 'a confident expectation that rests on the Promises of God.'

Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! ~Psalm 43:5 NLT

And His name will be… 'a confident expectation that rests on the promises that God has made to every one of us.

WE ALL NEED HOPE!

To Hope is to carry on; to push through.

WITH JESUS we are ‘HOPE-FULL’ – We are full of hope!

**We can COPE with EVERYTHING in LIFE when we put HOPE in CHRIST! 

HOW DO WE GET HOPE?

• BELIEVE that Jesus has Great things for you
• PRAY and ask Jesus to help you through
• EXPECT that Jesus will fulfill His great promises for you

CHALLENGE:  Hope… that’s what we all need; it’s what we all want.  If we could have access to hope 24/7, it would be a much better world.  Hope… that’s what Jesus came to give everyone, regardless of race, socioeconomic status, culture or religion.  We do not have to live for one minute without this hope.  Jesus is our hope and we do have full access to Him every moment of every day!  In Romans 15:13 we read, “I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him.  Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.”  Stop right now and ask Jesus to be your hope.  In the midst of what you are going through, reach out to Jesus… He is reaching out to you with hope today!
