Jesus Christ is our hope.

Thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ, today we have the promise of eternal life in heaven with him. This hope helps us face the dilemmas and challenges of this present life.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and that does not fade away, kept in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials, 7 so that the genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be tested and found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Having not seen him, you love him. Though you do not see him now, though you believe, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 obtaining the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

When we talk about hope, we are talking about a certain expectation or desire for something too good, and in this case, Jesus Christ is the greatest source of hope since only He knows what is best for us and not only that, He has the power and authority to ensure that this is fulfilled in our lives.

We are living in a turbulent world like a great sea passing through a storm, and when that happens, Jesus Christ is our anchor, our Safe Harbor, who encourages us with this promise of an inheritance that never perishes, an inheritance in heaven that endures forever. However, that security He promises seems far away when the storm comes, or when pain and suffering plague our lives. There seems to be no relief, but the question is, how can we endure those moments? And that is where hope based on faith comes in, ensuring a change of perspective and present circumstances.

But what happens when we continue in the same situation? Perhaps we think God has forgotten or is busy with other things, but we must be assured that God is refining our faith, and this will result in praise and glory to God, and above all, to Jesus Christ at His next coming. Difficulties and hardships, for men, some lose hope and give up, while others use them as tools from God to perfect their faith and character, thus increasing their faith even more.

Christ has great promises for us not only for eternity but for the present life as well, God can free us from difficulty today and we can have rest and repose in Him when we arrive at our eternal home meanwhile we can experience victories here on earth, everything that God produces in us is to give us a glorious future.
