We have hope...

“The Word became flesh and lived for a while among us.  We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”  John 1:14

This statement of historical fact gives us hope for the future regardless of the problems of the day.

The “Word” in this reading is the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  He came into our world in the flesh to be one of us.  He came to pioneer the way to life for us in this world and in the one to come.

THEREFORE:

He understands us…He cares for us…He will help us…He paid the price for our sins that we might know forgiveness…He has made eternal victory possible for us. 

Do you know where you are going?

“If you don’t know where you are going…

                        you will be lost when you get there.”   Yoga Berra

GOD HAS A RELIABLE COMPASS FOR US:

NORTH:  Vision, the recognition of where I want to go.

EAST:  Knowledge, the recognition of what is required to get there.

SOUTH:  Responsibility, the work that must be completed along the way.

WEST:  Perseverance, the power to get up one more time than I fall down.

You and I have the assurance of the Lord Jesus Christ

that this compass will not mislead us. 

He will go with us each step of the way.
