The Only Message of Hope

June 24

We can’t calculate the totality of the Lord’s mercy and goodness to us. We can’t add up the column of numbers that equates to the faithfulness of Jesus as it is evidenced to us every morning.

Just as the sun warms each new dawn, just as the rain falls on our gardens, so the goodness of our God makes each day a testimony of His blessings in our lives. Whether we thank Him or ignore Him, He lavishes His mercies upon us. Whether we believe in Him or believe in false gods, He holds our lives securely in His hand.

He is the One of whom Ephesians 3:20-21 speaks: “Unto Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think, according to His power at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Jesus Christ.” He is the One whose name deserves all praise. We who are in the church must be fervent in our effort to share Him with the lost.

We must be resolute in our determination to cover the earth with His good news, for no other religion has the only message of hope! It is the message that can transform sinners to saints and turn the darkness to light! We have Jesus—and all the world must know Him and become part of His church. When they discover His goodness, lost and dying souls will embrace His full salvation.
