Need a view of the world infused with hope? Here it is. In 8 words:

From Him…(2)

Through Him...(4)

"All things hold together." (6,8)

This is an unfailing package of eternal hope.

 

Whatever your age, the world seems on the verge of insanity.

It’s not.

Things look different when you realize no human power holds the earth.

 

2000 years ago, a man whose name was Paul wrote the following words…

“He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”

Colossians 1:17

 

Hope.

It comes from realizing my strength, the strength of others is not enough.

Human strength is imperfect at best, at worst-it always fails.

The strength of Jesus never fails.

He is God.

He holds ALL things together.

 

Now, add these truths to the hope package we are building…

 

Jesus IS...before all things.

Before all things...Jesus IS.

All things were made By Him.

All things were made FOR HIM. (We are not our own.)

All.

There are no exceptions.

JESUS holds ALL THINGS TOGETHER...

 

The universe

Gravity

The wind

The water cycle

Every food chain

Every ocean

The seasons

Every city

Every country

The earth ...down to a single grain of sand.

Your life

My life

Those we love

Every heart beat...

Every human cell…

 

Name it...a to z...

 

Jesus holds all things together.

He packs hope for every human.

 

Give thanks...

There is everlasting, eternal unfailing hope.

Here is the best part of our “hope” package…

The infinite Power of the universe calls us personally...

He says, "follow me."
