Topic: Hopelessness And Christ

So many people from all lifestyles look upon their future as if their future is nothing but a barren desert. In addition, people full of hopelessness are the ones so often drawn to drug and alcohol abuse. People full of hopelessness try desperately to fill the hollowness of their life with all manner of sinful and immoral acts. If people full of hopelessness would only look in another direction these persons would find a life full of joy and hope unending. There is not only hope in this life there is hope for eternity. Jesus Christ came to us to not only tell us there was hope but demonstrated His hope for our future by giving himself up to be cruelly tortured and crucified. Christ's sacrifice was His loving way of actually showing and demonstrating to us even the hopelessness of death could be and would be overcome for eternity. In our modern age of technology and our near-worship of science, we find millions of people who consider their life to be ineffective and trivial. How terrible a thing this is! Even people who consider themselves religious often feel useless and without an overall purpose in their life. This futility of living is a symptom of hopelessness. However, there is no hopelessness with a tangible faith in Christ giving us an eternal hope for eternity.
