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). However, because He did rise and ascend into heaven, we have the assurance that sin and death do not have the final word. His victory is ours, and this truth calls us to be a people of unwavering hope.

They seemed to know how to do their jobs, provide dinner and clothes for us, and guide us in our walk with the Lord. They were a constant source of stability and wisdom and seemed to have answers to my questions.
