Invest in Hope: Then one of the criminals said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Luke 23:42

Even in his darkest time, as death approached, Jesus remained king. And as king, Jesus assured the criminal that all would be well for him. In our dark times, let's remember that Jesus' promise extends to us too.

Invest In Hope: When some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, Jesus said, “As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another; all will be thrown down.” Luke 21:5-6

Jesus’ words remind us how easy it is to take confidence in things that will not last. Instead, he invites us to invest in eternal things, like love, care for another, generosity, mutual support, acceptance.

Together in Faith: But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you. 2 Thessalonians 3:3

God’s faithfulness invites our own. We are told that God is faithful not just for information, but for encouragement. We express our faithfulness in many ways, of course… but the main ways are by loving God and loving our neighbor as ourselves. How do I show my faithfulness today?
