We may hope to win the lottery, but we buy a ticket knowing the odds are millions to one. We hope to win, but have little expectation. But what if Jesus, who knows everything including the future lottery numbers stood by your bed tonight and told you the winning combination? You would write them down, wake up the next morning, and go buy your lottery ticket certain of winning. That’s how the Bible uses the word “hope.” Hope means you can look to the future with confident expectation. Jesus told us he is coming back to restore all things – his return and our resurrection is the Christian’s confident hope. Let me, Dr. Jay Quine encourage you to remember the word hope to trust in what Jesus promised.
