    Jesus, who has power over life and death, has compassion on us, too, no matter what our situation in life. God has visited His people, and visits us still.

    Jesus brings more than salvation from sin. He brings salvation from grief as He gives hope.

    We know that the ancient pagan civilizations had many gods. The pagans worshiped the gods of earth, wind, fire, rain, fertility, war, the sea, and so on. They never worshiped a god called the “god of hope.” Hope was a disappointing mirage in that ancient world, long before our Lord was born in ...read more
