"When the wicked man dies, his expectation will perish, and the hope of the unjust perishes.
Proverbs 11:7
I suppose that everyone has some kind of expectations for his or her life – happiness, success, love and acceptance. These expectations will all die when the casket is closed for the last time. There is hope that extends beyond the grave. For the person who believes in Christ, there is hope of heaven and eternal life. What a miserable life it would be to come to the end and find that my hope in this life is all there is. As Paul wrote, "If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most pitiable" (I Cor. 15:19). Faith in Jesus gives hope beyond the grave. P.T.L.
Today's Thought: Lasting hope lies in faith in Christ.
Have a hopeful day. Love you.
