Why I Have “No Hope” in Jesus Christ
We talk about “hope” a lot in faith circles. We hope for better days, we hope for healing, and we hope that God is listening.But recently, I was asked to give a three-minute talk on the “hope” I found in Christ, and I hit a wall.
Every time I sat down to prepare, my mind went blank. I struggled for two months trying to find the words, until I realized something that changed my entire perspective.
I told my wife, “I have no hope.

Before I came to Christ, I truly had no hope. I was drifting. But since I’ve gone “all in” with God, the word “hope” doesn’t quite fit anymore.
Hope implies a level of uncertainty—like “I hope it doesn’t rain tomorrow.” But when it comes to Jesus, I don’t have to “hope” He’s there. I have a rock solid knowledge that He has me in every single way.

Let’s Connect
Whether you’ve been in church your whole life or you’re just starting to look for answers, I want to encourage you to go “all in.”
You’ll find that you don’t need to live on “hope” alone when you have the absolute certainty of His presence.
What’s one area of your life where you’re ready to move from “hoping” to “knowing”?
