There is a lot we don’t understand and yet even in these moments there is a clear call for those who know Jesus.
For we do not live as those who have no hope. But what do we do when the hope that we have seems to be stretched to the outer limits and we feel as though the string that holds us together are about to break?
Maybe it is not the death of a loved one, but some other issue you are facing, perhaps a relationship that is struggling, children that are wandering, your own health that is failing, or just life that seems to be collapsing.
What does hope bring us if the resolution is not what we were hoping for?
Our Gospel text clearly teaches us that God is able. In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus has just exorcised a legion of demons from a man that no one could control. He has healed a woman that no physician could cure, and he restores to life a girl when all hope is gone....
Today as we worship here in this place, what is on your heart, in your mind, a part of your life that you are struggling to hold onto hope?
Jesus is here.
Jesus is present.
Jesus says come. Jesus says come. And if by faith you come to Jesus don’t expect to leave here today the same as when you came in, because Jesus will touch your life with His Kingdom power and begin a new work in you. It might not be what you were thinking, but I promise you it will be better than what you were going to give yourself.
His presence, His Kingdom, His great love for you is intended to heal the brokenness and remove the guilt and shame to replace the sorrow and bring new life. To truly be healed so that you no longer have to live in the brokenness of who you have been and hopelessness of where you have been walking.
