Hope

In the Bible people who have hope are very different from optimists! In this video, we’ll explore how biblical hope looks to God’s character alone as a basis for trusting that the future will be better than the present.

I find it fascinating to see how the old and the New Testament are so much interconnected

I LOVE that you distinguished between optimism and biblical hope.
Too often I've seen being a Christian depicted as merely living optimistically, i.e. putting on an optimistic attitude. But hope is something, I've found, to be much more deep, profound, and durable than mere optimism.

"Christian hope looks back to the risen Jesus in order to look forward."
Beautiful.

"You look forward by looking backward, trusting in nothing other than God's character." 💯

"Christian hope looks back to the risen Jesus in order to look forward, and so we wait." 💯

Hope is different from optimism. Hope is based on the unseen attributes of God where optimism is based on the seen circumstances. God I place my hope in You

“Christian hope looks back to the risen Jesus in order to look forward” sounds like something Piper said in Future Grace: “When we look back to the death and resurrection of Christ, God shows us in the present the enormity of His love for us, and thus warrants all our confidence in future grace.”

If you read the story of rahab carefully, the word for “cord” when talking about the scarlet rope she was to hang out her window, it’s a word for hope connected to qavah. That means we all need the scarlet cord of Jesus in our life!! And He obviously is also the scarlet cord that runs through the old and New Testament!!

This is so good.. Biblical hope is a choice. Even if it doesnt get better, you still wait and choose to put your hope in the Lord because he is just He is. YahKaL❤️

As a Filipino, we have this tagalog word 'kabah' or 'kaba' meaning to wait in anticipation as well until something happens either good or bad.
It just suddenly ring a bell in my heart as i watch your video.

Godbless!!!

i remember back then, after I had graduated, i was looking for job, my family and friends keep prayed for me and my dad keep scolding me that i am such a looser in finding job.
But i prayed to God i just got a right hope, that God answered back to me "wait, just wait, i will give you the suitable job".
Is actually true i work near by where i live. My hope came true.

Amen
God is always God He know the best of hope to serve human.

Everything I have watched, and listen to from the bible project is a good renewal to my soul .

I really love these word study videos. They really open my eyes to a different perspective.

Starting this 'Advent Reflections' devotional plan today! What an interesting video and beautiful illustrations. “You are my yakhal.” This extraction from Psalm 39 verse 7 seems so intimate. Jesus is our living hope and The One who we wait for.

I pray for God's faithfulness to shine through in my devotion to him; I pray for the Holy Spirit to fill me with The Word of Our Lord. 🙌
