john16-33 "In this world you will have suffering. But take heart I have overcome the world." God never said there would never be suffering in the world.
My hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus' blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name. When darkness seems to veil His face, I rest in His unchanging grace; in every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil. On Christ the solid rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand.
That beautiful hymn, MY hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus Christ his righteousness. As Christians our hope transcends beyond the grave into his glorious presence and appearing.
Wow! This has got to be one of the most caring, considerate, beautiful and almost perfect approaches to answering this question. THANK YOU for this! God bless you both.
1John 5.19 :"We know we originate with God but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. " 2Peter3. 13 :"But there are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to His promise and in these righteousness is to dwell. "
I think of Job and his suffering, he had faith, he had hope, he believed in a redeemer with a capital R. Jesus is that Redeemer, He personally became [and personified] all the pain of mankind, crucified and mocked, and fulfulled God's redemption plan from before the beginning of creation. He planned all of this from the beginning. Suffering builds character that kind God likes. So let us persevere, build our faith like Job did so that nothing will tear it down to pieces.
Thanks. I think you are saying God exists because there is no hope when God doesn't exist. AN INTERESTING WAY to prove the existence of a personal god.
Brilliant. Love John Lennox. Kind, joy filled hope and compassion for the lost!
I am still reeling from being tortured for a year from acute leukemia and intense chemo. This video is like water in a desert
Yes!

Thank you for this today. I’m still recovering from losing 2 of my family members to a double homicide last year.

Well said JLenox, atheism is a hopeless thought. Jesus says He will avenge and He will bring justice.

2Peter3. 13 :"But there are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to His promise and in these righteousness is to dwell. "
Profound words in few statements ...woow
Beautiful. I absolutely needed to hear this today. X

Well put John if only more people could work it through to that conclusion
God is hope
