Placing Your Hope (1 John 3:2-3)

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
(1 John 3:2-3, NASB)

Where do you place your hope? In your job? In relationships? In your stuff? And what happens when you lose your job? Or your best friend moves away? Or your house burns down? I know, those are pretty depressing thoughts, but things happen.

The only unchanging place to put your hope is in God. One day, Jesus will return. We know this. We put our hope in it.

One day, we will be like Jesus. We will be pure. We will be perfect in the eyes of our Father.

And we’ll spend eternity with Him.

No more pain. No more sorrow. Just worshipping and serving our Creator God.

I don’t know about you, but that’s where I place my hope.
