Hope That Outlasts Horror

By now we’ve covered the problem.

Evil entered through us.
God is sovereign in our suffering.
Discipline refines us.
Even disasters bend to His will.

But none of that hits the heart like hope does.

Because here’s what every person eventually asks,

“Will it always be like this?”

And the answer is loud and clear,

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more,
neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore,
for the former things have passed away.”

— Revelation 21:4

That’s not a dream.
That’s a promise.

Everything broken?
He’s going to fix it.

Everything unjust?
He’s going to judge.

Everything we’ve lost?
He’s going to restore.

“Behold, I am making all things new.”
 Revelation 21:5

Jesus didn’t just come to rescue souls.
He came to redeem creation itself.

“The creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption
and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of
God.”

— Romans 8:21

He’s not leaving this place in ruins.
He’s coming back to rule it in glory.

That means evil doesn’t win.
Death doesn’t win.
Despair doesn’t win.

Christ does.
And everyone who is in Him will reign with Him (2 Timothy 2:12).

So when pain screams loud.
Let this hope scream louder.
This is not how the story ends.
