Hope
January 2025
Dear friends,
The beginning of a new year is supposed to be a time of hope. But it can be hard to find hope when we feel weighed down by all the problems and troubles of our world, or when we are facing difficult and challenging times in our own lives.
But real hope is not just about trying to be optimistic, or looking on the bright side of things. Real hope does not depend on things looking as if they will turn out well, but rests on much deeper and firmer foundations.
The hope at the heart of the Christian faith is that, because of what God has done to show us his love in the life, death and rising again of Jesus, we can be assured that God’s good purposes will eventually be fulfilled.
In the Bible we find these words about hope (from Romans chapter 8, verses 24-25):
But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?
But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
In this new year, as we face the challenges that lie before us, may we be sustained by a true and living hope.
Revd John Waller
