Blindness or Hope

I saw this video in church yesterday. 







This video shows hope, how we can come out of the darkness of the world, and find true hope in Christ.  How Christ can turn our world upside down when we put our faith, our hope, in Him.


“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He led them from the darkness and deepest gloom; he snapped their chains. Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them. Psalm 107:13-15


Everyone needs hope, is looking for hope.  When we put our faith in God, we have a reason to have hope.  We have to hold on to hope in Christ everyday. To me, it's the only way to get through each day.


Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1


But you are God's chosen and special people. You are a group of royal priests and a holy nation. God has brought you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Now you must tell all the wonderful things that he has done. The Scriptures say, "Once you were nobody.  Now you are God's people. At one time no one had pity on you. Now God has treated you with kindness.  1 Peter 2:9-10




 For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are. But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. Romans 3:20-24
