Resurrection Hope

Lamentations 3 v 21 - 26

[22] “The Lord’s lovingkindness indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. [25] The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the person who seeks Him.” (vers 22 and 25)

If you put your hope in anything and anyone other than the Lord, Jesus Christ, then you should reconsider.

There is no one who is perfect, holy, righteous and just, other than our Saviour and salvation is only possible through Him. There is no other way to know the Father and reconcile with Him.

Our hope is in the fact that Jesus has come to restore our relationship with God, through renewing our spirit. We are neither holy nor righteous, but through Him who knew no sin, [He] became sin, so that we could become the righteousness of God (2 Cor 5 v 21) [paraphrase].

This should be our hope, that because He loved us first and because of His faithfulness and grace, we can now come to God, as sinners and receive His forgiveness, when we accept Jesus as the only way to have communion with the living God.

If there are things in your life that prevent you from (re)turning to God, allow Him to save you from the bondage you might find yourself in. There is nothing that God will not forgive, besides blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, therefore you can come to Him in humility and seek forgiveness.

Walk out in hope today, knowing that Jesus’ work is complete, in the sense that He fully paid the price and bought us free. His death and resurrection is our death and resurrection. We should die to self, so that He can live in us through His Spirit.

All the glory and honour to our Lord and Saviour. He is the Lamb of God, that was slain and the Lion of Judah who now reigns!
