"The hope of the righteous is gladness." (Proverbs 10:28) One of Christianity's great themes is triumphant hope. I'm not talking about some distant, vague dream, but real triumphant hope; the kind of hope where all things end right. In the midst of the struggles, and storms, and sufferings of life, we can advance our thoughts beyond today and see relief, triumph, and victory, because in the end, God does indeed win! Think about that for a moment . . . all earthly woes, all financial pressures, all emotional trauma, all physical disabilities, all domestic conflicts . . . all that ends! And we will be with Jesus, who wins! That, in turn, means harmony, unity, victory, joy, praise, and delight. We will be changed on the inside -- we will have new natures, new minds, new bodies. And, we will have the joy of living forever in praise and adoration of our God! Can I get an amen!?
