Where is the “hope?” In the way we use hope today, it more often expresses a wish or desire. It is a little more than wishful thinking. This is in sharp contrast to the hope of Jesus’ message. His message is profoundly . . . simple.
In this message, Pastor Brian describes what hope is. Because of Jesus, Christians become a completely future-oriented people. Their outlook is not conditioned by any present hardship or suffering. They are on their way “home.” They are destined for an existence in the presence of God.
