=========================== TODAY'S ARTICLE ==========================
Hope for Life, by Tim Archer
Viktor Frankl was a Jew living in Nazi Germany. He was arrested and
sent to a Nazi death camp. There he watched men live in inhuman
conditions, saw many stronger than he wither and die, and learned
lessons about survival. One of the key things he observed was the power
of hope. Those who had hope could survive almost anything; those who
didn't, died. As Frankl put it, "The prisoner who had lost faith in the
future -- his future -- was doomed. With his loss of belief in the
future, he also lost his spiritual hold; he let himself decline and
became subject to mental and physical decay."
At HopeforLife.com, we believe that there is hope. We believe that it
not only exists, but that it can be found. We know because we've found
it and know many others who have as well. The hope that we have found
comes from God, the source of all true hope. Others fall short: dreams
of power, wishes for pleasure, longings for riches. None of those can
transcend this life and reach beyond the grave. Only God can give us a
hope that will not fade, a hope that cannot be tarnished by death or
disease.
As human beings, we desperately need hope. This world is a cold, empty
place without it.
Jesus Christ came to this world to bring that hope to mankind. It's not
enough for hope to exist; it's only when we are able to find it that it
does us any good. Jesus came not only to embody hope, but also to give
us something to hope in. Through him, we can hope to live forever. That
life of hope can be lived now; Jesus made it possible for us to find,
live in and share with others the same hope.
As human beings, we desperately need hope. This world is a cold, empty
place without it. With hope, we can face any circumstance. The apostle
Paul wrote, "In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret
of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things
through him who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:12-13). Jesus Christ and
the hope that he gives allow us to face every situation this life can
offer.
