There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on the earth distress
among nations confused by the roaring of the sea and the waves.
Many times when I go to the hospital, I go with the attitude that I'm going to bring cheer to the
person I'm going to visit. In most cases, I'm the one who ends up getting cheered up. It is amazing
the great hope God's people cling to. It is the hope of a better life to come in Jesus Christ.
(Luke 21:25
NRSV)
The people of Israel waited expectantly for the Messiah and the early church waited expectantly
for Christ's return. The Christian life is an expectant life. When we leave this life, we hold fast to
the great hope and expectation of being in the loving presence of God for all of eternity.
Dear Jesus, fill me with your great hope, and may I share it with those who need it. Amen.
