Hope

This Friday we label as "Good Friday" because we know that Sunday (Easter) is coming! Jesus served and saved us. He was crucified...took on all of our sins...took on all of our pain...and died. If it ended there...life would have no reason...no hope.

There is an Eric Clapton song, "Tears in Heaven". Some lyrics:

"Would you know my name, If I saw you in Heaven, Would it be the same, If I saw you in Heaven. I must be strong, And carry on, Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven"

How hopeless...desperate. Because of Jesus we CAN have hope and we CAN belong in Heaven. Accepting Jesus...Believing in Him....Confessing our sins...totally turning from them to have a relationship with Jesus will give us our hope of "Someday" being with Jesus...BECAUSE of Easter...Because He lives...we can face tomorrow. We have hope.

"Someday" is posted in this blog as a favorite song of mine. Some of the lyrics are:

"You're my life and salvation, you're the Strength in me, you're my Inspiration, you're the Light that shines on me, Although I cannot see you, I know I've always felt you, So I will follow you and believe....Someday I know you're coming back for me, the one who loves you, Someday I know my heart and soul will be free, from the pain it holds onto....In times of desperation, I'm gonna cling to you, I'll find hope and protection, in the love that I've found in you...So I will follow you and believe..."

Jesus came that we may have life and hope abundantly! Praise the Lord!!!
