Cornerstone Truth

It is great news to know that as humans, though we were were born into a world of broken dreams and a DEAD HOPE, we can be born again into a LIVING HOPE which provides a life of real meaning, purpose, joy, and peace in a world filled with disappointment and sorrow.  This promise is conditional and Jesus says, You must be born again!  This morning we will listen to the Word of Christ as He explains what it means to be born again to a living hope and become one of God’s beautiful, glorious, and powerful New Creations!  We will also discover what the term “Living Hope” actually means.  To do, this we will compare the DEAD HOPE this world offers with the LIVING HOPE the Lord offers to all who will believe and obey the gospel!

This morning we will discover that the faith and hope of the saints of old was based on their conviction that God’s promise and provision was and and continues to be the hope of the resurrection of the dead unto life eternal with God.  Our lesson will begin with the Apostle Paul in chains giving his defense before the Roman governor Felix against the evil accusations of the Jewish leaders and lawyers who desired to silence Paul and the proclamation of the gospel of Christ!  We learn from this historical event that the faith and hope of the Old Testament faithful saints was in God keeping His promise for the provision of deliverance through the resurrection.  In the Law, the Pentateuch, which is the first five books of the bible we discover in typology and foreshadowing the resurrection unto life communicated in the life of Noah and Abraham.  In the Prophets we find clear statements about the hope of all men and women of faith regarding the resurrection of the dead unto life eternal!  The hope of all God’s people both present and past is that we will all rejoice at the resurrection of the dead and living into eternal joy with Christ at His coming!

I love the old Hymn, “On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand!”  So many of the old hymns and songs teach powerful Scriptural truths and this one speaks the truth when the lyrics speak, “My hope is built on nothing less that Jesus’ blood and righteousness.”  This morning we will delve into the meaning of Hebrews 10:19-23.  We will discover that our hope and confidence of being resurrected unto life eternal indeed rests upon the blood sacrifice of Christ as He bore all our sins in His body on the cross and His faithfulness which empowered Him to live a holy and blameless life of righteousness which He imparts to us with His indwelling presence of His Spirit.  As the word of God speaks in 2 Corinthians 5:21, “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him!”

This morning we will examine the first of our two anchor verses for this year’s theme, “The Power of Hope!”  In Psalm 62:1-12 we will find the first of many Old Testament definitions and illustrations of our unshakeable hope. There is only one true and lasting hope in this life.  There is no other!  Our hope is from God.  Our hope is Jesus Christ our LORD!  Though all hell assail us He will never leave us or forsake us!  It is only through Him who loves us that we overwhelmingly conquer in this life.  So, when all of life’s challenges come upon us how can we be quiet, still, and filled with hope?  First, we must know Him and draw ever nearer to Him.  Second, we must know and reject the delusions of the carnal man.  Finally, we must trust only in Him, relying on His power, love, and kindness.
