Jesus is Not an Optimist


Listen Later

Hope is a paradox. It's the unrelenting belief that your current reality is not the end of the story and the bravery to acknowledge with uncompromising honesty that this part of the story we're in now is horrible. Without facing the ugly facts, hope is just cruel optimism, and without the courage to dream that things could be different, facing the overwhelming darkness is soul crushing hopelessness. Jesus is able to hold both of these things in view – the pain of this world and the perfection of Heaven…and that is what we see acted out in the story of Jairus' daughter and the bleeding woman from Luke 8. 

This message is from our Sunday morning service on November 23rd, 2025.

We meet at The Simon (957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027) on Sunday mornings at 10am.
