--HOPE IN GRIEF

-"Then their eyes
were opened and they
recognized Him, and
He disappeared from
their sight."
--(Luke 24:31)--

--IN LUKE 24, two disciples, confused and brokenhearted after Jesus's death, didn't realize they were walking with their resurrected Teacher Himself, even as He explained from Scripture why the promised Savior had to die and rise again. Only when He took bread and broke it was it revealed that this was Jesus (vv. 30 thru 31). Although the followers of Jesus had faced death in all its horror when Jesus died, through His resurrection from the dead God showed them how to hope again.

Like those disciples, we might feel weighed down with confusion or grief. But we can find hope and comfort in the reality that Jesus is alive and at work in the world today--and in us. Although we still face heartache and pain, we can welcome Christ to walk with us in our tunnel of grief. As the Light of the world (John 8:12), He can bring rays of hope to brighten our fog. ~~

-"Lord God, thank You for being the light in the darkness. Bring hope when I'm sad and confused, and help me to see Your glory. Thank you Lord, that You are our blessed Hope."

--THOUGH WE GRIEVE, WE HAVE HOPE IN JESUS CHRIST, OUR SAVIOR, LORD, REDEEMER AND CREATOR. ~~
