      Why Hope Restores in Every Situation

      Jan 1, 2021

      Every one of us goes through dark valleys and troubled times. But in Christ Jesus we have hope. And hope restores in every situation—no matter how dark it may seem. To say the last year has been challenging would be an understatement for most of the

      THE RESURRECTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T it? It’s a metaphor for the whole Christian life. Without it, what’s dead is just dead. Over. Finished. Buried forever. No hope of new life springing forth. But in Jesus, we have the promise that death is not the

      But of the smaller scenes there is so much we could learn.

      The first showed His flesh mutilated, torn, bleeding—one we seldom see.

      I'm glad I caught just a glimpse of what He went through for me.

      The next showed Him carrying His own Cross up Calvary's hill.

      They set a murderer free and said, This One kill.

      The last showed that upon His head they placed a crown of thorns.
