Last time, I wrote about how the cross was central to Christian hope. But the cross alone is not a sign of hope without Jesus’ resurrection and ascension — the fulfillment of His redemptive mission. If Christ had only suffered and died but not risen, our faith would be in vain (1 Corinthians 15:14).

His victory is ours, and this truth calls us to be a people of unwavering hope.
