A hope that will never disappoint can only be found in the Saviour

In this passage we find that Christian hope is founded on Jesus … what he has accomplished for every believer through dying for our sins and rising again from the dead.  This hope is found in a real person, the God man, which makes us realize that this world is not perfect but sin affected.

Christian hope is sure and secure. We find this in biblical examples, including those from the Old Testament such as Abraham, of whom Jesus said that He saw His day and rejoiced. Another Old Testament example is Job, who, in the midst of his profound sufferings, said ‘I know my redeemer lives’.

In New Testament times we have, even more clearly, the reality in Jesus Christ. After His resurrection He appeared to the disciples on the road to Emmaus. The Scripture says ‘those who hope in God will not be disappointed’ … those who hope in Jesus will not be ruled by fear or uncertainty.
