"And again, Isaiah says, 'The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; in him the Gentiles will hope.'" ~Romans 15:12, NIV
Hope. It's an idea that strongly empowers people. Paul knew that, Isaiah knew that, and Jesus knew that. Isaiah knew it because God gave him hope, Jesus knew it because He was the hope, and Paul knew it because God told him Jesus was the hope.
God made a promise through Isaiah that was fulfilled in Jesus. Christ died, and rose from the dead to gain the power over the whole world, a power that He gives us permission to access. If God fulfilled His promises then, God will fulfill His promises now.
He promised to give hope. Now we can have hope, the strongest combatant of fear you'll ever find. Will you embrace Him?
