The Advent of HOPE and the Object of Our Faith.ಮಾದರಿ

I have an adorable Chihuahua named Lucy. She’s been my best friend for the last twelve years. I am her person. She follows me everywhere — up mountains, across streams, even into ponds — Lucy is always right there. Every time I leave the house, whether it’s a short trip to the store or a week-long vacation, Lucy waits with great expectation for my return. She sits at the top of our long driveway, knowing that my truck will eventually pull up and I’ll come back to her. I want to wait on Jesus like Lucy waits for me - with great expectation that he will be back soon!

I know Jesus is coming back because the Bible tells me so. Our hope in Jesus is secure because God has promised a future forever with Him. And because of that, we are to live with great expectation for what’s to come!

Remember, Isaiah served during a time of devastation and moral failure. He lived amid judgment, division, evil, and corruption. Yet — he focused on the Author of Hope. His life wasn’t easy, but his hope was built on the promise of his Creator. Not his circumstances — his future.
Not his pain — his salvation. Not the people around him — but Jesus, a man he had never met, yet had been divinely promised.

Are you living with great expectation of Christ’s return?
