When Jesus came up to the invalid man , who couldn ’ t handle the problem on his own , Jesus stepped in and the man experiences hope .
I can think of another example of how Jesus delivers hope . On Good Friday it had to seem so hopeless for the disciples and especially for Mary , his mom . I can ’ t imagine the pain , the emptiness , the fear , the heartwrenching sadness , the horror of the whole day . Jesus told them all it was going to happen , but seeing it happen must have robbed them of all hope in their lives . ns asked at at holds you alth ; others xiety ; maybe e your body nything that a follower of gs are going mean is you re is always ave a full life rch is here to an help you
And then , Jesus took the same advice he gave the healed man at the pool of Bethesda . On that third day he rose from the grave . On that third day he left the tomb . On that third day he started walking again . Hope came flooding back to the disciples and Mary . Death could not defeat Jesus and death will not defeat us .
We are children of the Easter morning . We are children of the empty tomb . We are children of hope . We are Christ ’ s children . by Pastor Rob Rose
