Every person that has ever lived or will ever live, can have Hope because of the Resurrection of Christ
Hope is not a dream or a wsh. Hope is the reason we can live a full life
Hope is the reality that, at the end of this life, we can step into eternity with our Savior
“19 and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.” (NASB)
20 “Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,” (NASB)
21 “to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (NASB)
This passage is a prayer by Paul
Paul is asking that the believers know the love of Christ and be filled with all the fullness of God
Know the Love of Christ
Be filled with the fullness of God
God is able
Exceedingly, abundantly
God can do above anything that you have experienced, imagined and certainly are able to do
The power that works within us!
In other words, this awesome, incredible power we are talking about is in the believer today
“Same Power” by Jeremy Camp
The power that allowed Jesus to be Resurrected, Moved mountains, Calmed the raging Sea, is in US!
This power exists in God’s people because of the Resurrection of Christ
Because of this power, we have HOPE
21 “to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (NASB)
Paul says “in the church” as he is calling upon ALL the people of God to praise His name, His glory
The greatest thing about the Hope we have, is sharing it with those who have no hope
Do you have that Hope today?
