You must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian
hope, always be ready to explain it.

How do you explain your Christian
hope? It’s a hard thing to put into
words, isn’t it?

It’s like my hope for spring in the
middle of this long, dark, bitterly cold winter. As I trudge down a white, icy driveway and
feel the wind sting my cheeks, I know spring will come. I may have be patient and endure more cold
days, but eventually trees will leaf out and flowers will bloom. It’s a sure thing. Without a doubt, spring will come.

So it is with my hope in
Christ. God is good and loving. He has a plan to redeem this broken
world. Even though our choices often
stray from that master plan, God is always able to work things out for
good. This is a promise from God. I may not see the plan come to fruition
during my lifetime and I may not understand the way God works it out, but I am
certain that God is in control. Good
will win. Spring will come.
