THAT BLESSED HOPE~*
*By HAROLD STEINBRON, Bible Teacher, Oklahoma*

Scripture Reading: Titus 2:13

Hope is what keeps man-kind going. Were it not for the hope of a better
tomorrow, or at least next week - or maybe next month, or perhaps next
year, we would give up and be ready to die. Many different people have
many different hopes but that blessed hope spoken of here, is the one
hope that keeps every true believer buying up the time; being not weary
in well doing; accepting the persecution that goes with those who live
Godly in Christ Jesus. This one hope above all other hopes, keeps us
rejoicing at the thought of being in His presence, and sharing in His Glory!

Paul lets us know that faith, hope, and love, are the enduring spiritual
marks in this age. Faith and Hope will be lost, when at the Rapture we
no longer need faith or hope, for sight will behold Him for whom so long
our hearts had sought. Then only love will be the life force.

We can get so busy making a living, and worrying over details that
should be turned over to Him, that we can lose sight of that day when we
actually stand in His presence! Fearful and wonderful thought! That
meeting in the air with Him, will leave many saved as through fire. Many
will be rewarded for faithfulness to His leading. He needed somebody
like us right where we are, so that's why He put each of us where we
are. When we learn faithfulness to responsibility there, He is well able
to move us elsewhere. The more faithful we are, the brighter shines that
blessed hope. To fail responsibility, may bring apprehension!

Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, *
*which from the beginning of the world *
*hath been hid in God,*
*who created all things by Jesus Christ*

*Truth can't be judged on the basis of popularity. *
