A Ruler Who Brings Hope

 

Romans 15:12 And again Isaiah says,
“The root of Jesse will come,
    even he who arises to rule the Gentiles;
in him will the Gentiles hope.”
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, 
so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
If you haven't noticed, there is not a lot of hope to go around lately.  Whether it be religion, politics, economics, or personal relationship issues, you don't find many hopeful people.  Christ came for hopeless people who realized things were not right and on their own they could not fix it. For the Jews, it was their promised Messiah. For the Gentiles (most of the world) He is the King we need in our lives. Let's look to Him, trust in Him, and find in Him our hope.
