"Jesus” Is The Only Answer!

Jesus is the Only Answer!

Everywhere you look, all through out history, there have been men and women, who have inspired mankind!

David did, Caleb did, Moses and Joshua, Peter, Paul and Mary mother of Jesus...How about Ruth and Esther? How about the women with the Alabaster box, filled with costly perfume?

Discoverers have, Kings have, Presidents, Astronauts and entertainers, have all inspired mankind.

Every time I hear Ella Fitzgerald sing the song "At last" or the words Neil Armstrong said..."one small step for man, one giant leap for all mankind," they grab my attention.

The speech that Ronald Reagan made 35 yrs ago does the same, about a city shining brightly on a hill!

And I'm sure, each and everyone here this morning has similar men and women that have inspired you. But at best, the inspiration they created, was all and always temporal, because people fall, people fail, people die.

Because the pursuit of the relentless accuser, combined with time and circumstances, can change things around it seems just like the weather, without a moments notice,

Until one day it's 2018 and you think, where has time gone, you wake up and you see things you've never seen before and the news,

reports on things happening around the world, you? have never heard of before, another terrorist act of using anything and everything, whatever and whomever he can to cause mass destruction and death!

And you see and hear in your own neighborhood, of people hurting others and ruining their lives,

doing things and drugs like heroine, like meth, like spray paint. Using whatever they they can find they think is supposed to make them feel good, because the enemy has got them convinced they can't face life's ups and downs!

There is someone dying every 12 minutes from a drug overdose statistics say and you can't help but wonder, Where has Hope gone? Or you wonder, Where?s the lack of Hope gone to?

I can remember hearing about heroine growing up, but I never thought I'd see the day, neighborhood children all across the globe would be hooked on the stuff...

The world needs hope, the morale of people young and old, all across the globe, needs to be lifted up and inspired.

Society talks about creating another program to help, but a man made program is still only at best a "temporary solution," what is needed above all else....is JESUS!

They are crying out for help...they need to be made aware of the hope, the greatest hope ever known and that hope is Jesus! The hope that not just inspired a generation or two, like at best a man is capable of, but is capable of doing it, for all of eternity,

A real and lasting, continual Hope, a hope that will never disappoint, a hope that will never let us down! A real and lasting answer that will stand the test of time and bring about the healing in our children and our land that needs to happen and happen quickly!

Romans 5:5 NKJ

5Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Gods ?hope? in the Bible is a confident and positive expectation of good.

No where in the world can you find the good news of such a hope,

Life Changing Hope...can only be found, through a relationship with Jesus Christ and the finished work of Christ!

And God wants you to have Hope and a confident expectation of good because as His child,

Like any good parent would be towards their own children, God Loves you and He favors you and wants His very best for you.

God doesn't want you to have to look anywhere else, for comfort or the answers or anything else for that matter, but to Him!

He is willing to abundantly supply for every need known and unknown that will ever arise, and even for the needs the accuser makes up and creates out of thin air!

Matthew 7:11 NKJ.

11. If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

God wants you to always be expecting something good from Him, for one reason and for no other reason, because He loves you and because your one of His own!!

And that's more than enough reason for me, Praise God!

The question is...are you one of His own? Far to many claim to be one of His own, and continually act as though their not!

TBS. if you are one of His own, you are qualified for everything and anything, He is more than willing to bestow upon you, all for the asking!
