Now may the God of all hope fill you with joy and peace as you believe so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13 (CSB)
HOME
As we wrap up our time together this week in this beautiful verse, I hope you’ve begun to understand what a gift Jesus’ birth and life are to us.
We were hopeless, sinners eternally condemned. He humbled himself and came as a baby, lived fully God and fully man in the person of Jesus, suffered and died the death we deserved, and rose again from the dead.
Why? Why would He do that? Oh dear friend, because that’s how much he loves us! He came to redeem us! That is our hope in this life!
John 1:14 says, “So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.”
You see, He came and made his home among us that we might build our lives on him.
Where have you placed your hope in this life? Who or what are you looking to for joy and peace? Only Jesus can satisfy. Build your life on him, living in the pages of his word, empowered by his Spirit to all he’s calling you to—only there will you truly be Home!
PRAY: Jesus, what can we say? You are more than enough. What a gift you are to us! Forgive us when we forget. Help us to love you, love others, and live sent. Amen.
