The Servant Who Is Our Hope

We are a multi-task generation. There are so many things calling for our energy and attention. Much of it is driven by the shallowness that overwhelms the human spirit. The shallow stuff of this world, that is constantly passing away. Christ stands in the middle of it all as the One in whom the nations will put their hope. (Matthew 12:21). His name is hope. Not Mohammed, Ghandi, Joseph Smith, or any president or world leader, but Jesus Christ. There will be a moment in history when every one who has ever lived or is living at that moment will realize that Jesus Christ is the One in whom is life. In that moment there will be a great cry of despair from those who rejected this One who is our hope, and at that same time a great shout of victory and praise from those who put their hope in this Jesus. Awesome and great is His name. There is no other  name under heaven that brings salvation and rescues mankind from the shallowness of this world's stuff. Look at my servant the Father says. This Servant is my Son. It is more than a suggestion, it is the invitation to life for whosoever will. In our multi task age, let us do this one thing-Look at the Son of God, who reigns and is coming again.
