Bible Reading: Titus 1:1-15
Key Verse: Verse 2 - “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the
world began;”
Key Words: In hope of eternal life
The book of
Titus shows us Jesus as our Blessed Hope.
In chapter one and verse two, Jesus is our Hope of Eternal Life. In chapter two and verse thirteen, Jesus is
our Coming Hope, and in chapter three and verse seven, again Jesus is our Hope
of Eternal Life.
Have you ever
studied that word hope?
Best-selling author Barbara Johnson says that she lives by the motto,
“Life is about 10% how you make it and about 90% how you take it.” Barbara writes about her personal sorrow. Her husband was in a near-fatal accident and
slowly recovered from severe and debilitating injuries. She had one son die in the Viet Nam war, and
another son was killed by a drunk driver.
Her third son became a homosexual.
With such a personal resume you can deeply appreciate her perspective on
hope: “The cutest illustration of hope I’ve found,” she says, “is about a
little boy standing at the foot of the escalator in a large department
store. The young lad was intently
watching the handrail. He never took his
eyes off that handrail as the escalator kept going around and around. A salesperson saw him and finally asked him
if he was lost. The little fellow
replied, ‘Nope. I’m just waiting for my
chewing gum to come back.’” Now, that’s
hope.
Jesus is our
Hope, and I’m just waiting for Jesus to come back. Amen!
What to do:
✞Never give up.
✞Never get down.
✞Always look up. Jesus could come back today.
