What is the
greatest hope of our lives? Is it to be a rich? What is the hope that is deep inside of our hearts? Parents always try to
help their children to have a bright dream so that they may grow to make those dreams a reality. Therefore, if we have a hope that is shining bright within our heart and mind, we can endure
all hardships that come our way. However as a person with a life of faith, what
are we hoping for? Is our hope to have the greatest riches of the earth? Is it to have the best career? We must reflect on what our hope is even through those who lived 2,000 years ago.
Do you know how many prophets sacrificed their
lives for God and spreading the gospel? Was it easy for them to give up their lives? Do you know why the 12
disciples of Jesus decided to follow Jesus? Weren’t they persecuted because
they believed in Jesus? It is
because they believed 100% of the hope of heaven that God promised. Moreover,
they perceived that nothing more can be precious than life. Therefore, they
believed God’s promise in order to receive eternal life.
Then, let’s look into our hearts deeply.
Do we really have the hope for eternal life? Our wishes and hopes for the world
can’t last forever because it is meaningless without life. If we say that we have
100% faith in heaven and eternal life, let us put God’s Words of promise into
our hearts just as the prophets and the twelve disciples did. Amen.
13 write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. - 1 John 5:13 -
