How We Find a Living Hope in an Empty Tomb

At some point in life, everyone searches for hope. And while the world offers many forms, they fizzle and fade away. So what if there’s a living hope available to anyone willing to find it?

But where does this hope come from and how do we access it? 

God made plans to bring a living hope to a hopeless people.

Hope’s birth took place in a lowly stable. Hope grew and carried out the heavenly Father’s will. 

Hope has a name. It’s Jesus.

Jesus left the splendor and spiritual riches of heaven to come and save us.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 (ESV)

Living Hope for a Hopeless People

Jesus came to die for me and for you—for our salvation and the salvation of all willing to embrace this living hope found in the sacrificial blood of Jesus. 

God sent Jesus from the throne room of heaven to take our place. Beaten, bruised, and pierced with nails, His blood spilled on a cross. And He bestowed forgiveness on us to cover our sins.

Jesus saves us from condemnation, wrath, ourselves, other gods, and eternal death. But salvation also brings new and abundant life with Jesus as the Savior of our souls and way of life.

“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.’” John 11:25 (ESV)

We each must acknowledge the sacrifice, death, and resurrection of Christ to receive eternal life.
