Do you Need a Little Hope?

Are you struggling to find joy today?  Are the disappointments of life dragging you down?  Could you use a little hope?

I imagine there were eleven men walking around feeling the same way on this day some two thousand plus years ago.  Eleven disciples, minus the traitor Judus Ascariot had believed in someone.  They had left everything in their lives; their families, their profession, their beliefs; to follow someone they believed to be the chosen Messiah.   And then he was crucified on a cross yesterday.

Can you imagine how they must have felt today.  That day over two thousand years ago, the day after the person they put all their belief in was crucified.  The loss of hope.  The discouragement.  The sorrow.

What they didn’t realize is there was tomorrow.  Tomorrow, where the tomb was empty.  Tomorrow that meant Jesus was raised from the dead.  Tomorrow would change everything.  Tomorrow meant that Jesus really was the Messiah.  And Jesus was who he claimed to be.

So if your looking for hope, there is tomorrow.  There is always hope when there is a tomorrow promised by Jesus.
