No Hope
“That at that time ye were without Christ … having no hope, and without God in the world” (Ephesians 2:12).
Hope is an indispensable quality of life! Someone has said that if you could convince a man there is no hope, he would curse the day he was born.
Years ago the S-4 submarine was rammed by another ship and quickly sank. The entire crew was trapped in its prison house of death. Ships rushed to the scene of disaster off the coast of Massachusetts. We don’t know what took place down in that sunken submarine, but we can be sure that the men clung bravely to life as the oxygen slowly gave out. A diver went down and placed his helmeted ear to the side of the vessel and listened. He heard a tapping noise as someone tapped out a question in the dots and dashes of Morse Code, “Is … there … any … hope?”
This seems to be the cry of humanity: “Is there any hope?” Yes, thankfully, there is hope … hope in Christ! Is this hope a reality with you? Can you join with others to say, “God our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope” (1 Timothy 1:1).
