A Promise of Light and Hope - July 16, 2008

Good morning in Christ! Messages of love are coming our way today; I can feel it in the air. I am staring at yet another credit card advertisement. This one says that I can: "earn spending money with every purchase." That would seem to be a contradiction at best and perhaps even an outright lie. That is the world though, how it does like to twist the truth into something sly. Compare the world's advertising with something that Jesus told us - believe in me and you will be saved. A man who had spent his life in sin, so much that he was condemned by the Roman authorities to die, asked Jesus to remember him when Jesus came into his kingdom. Jesus assured that man that he would be with Jesus in paradise on that day. As we know from the Bible, later that day the legs of the two men were broken to speed their deaths. That day, the one who believed entered paradise to be with Jesus, just as promised. We live in a promise, a promise of light and hope. Live in the love of Jesus today; rest in His great promise to us.

Jesus said that He would never leave us, and when the Son of God says "never", that is a very long time indeed.
