During the 2nd world war many people in the countries occupied by the Nazis listened to Churchill's broadcasts over the radio even though it was forbidden, and if they were caught ,the punishment was death. The reason being he could provide that one thing these tortured populations needed more than anything else;'hope'. Without hope you have only despair,I read recently that biggest killer of men under 50 in the UK is suicide,it seems to me that they are people who have lost hope. In a particular movie one of the character's said,' Hope is a good thing,maybe the best of things,and no good thing ever dies'. Of course there is false hope,I remember when I was young lad chasing the girls,and I arranged to this young girl, I waited hopefully at the arranged venue,but alas she never turned up, a false hope.On a more serious side many are building their eternal hopes on false hopes,I build my hope for eternity on Him who said He was the way ,the truth ,and the life, His name is Jesus, He is not a false hope.And while I'm here on planet earth ,facing all the uncertainies that brings,that same Jesus is with me,and that brings into my heart a sweet message of hope.His words of hope bless me and encourage me in all the experiences of life.He will be our light in the darkness,our strength in our weakness,our helper in times of trouble,our guide on the pathway of life.
' Jesus is a Rock in a weary land'
