Beloved : The Hopeless - John 11:38-44

Often in this life, things feel hopeless. Happy endings only exist in fairy tales. Life's bumps and pitfalls rock our worlds. Life is tough. Losses cannot be won back. What's gone is gone, and we cannot get it back. Hopes and dreams are just that, hopes and dreams that don't come true. We simply move on, and deal with life as it is. Difficult. Bleak. Yes, even hopeless. Jesus shows that his love extends even to the hopeless. Our loving Lord of life, gives hope to the hopeless, even when it's impossible. That's what he does for his people. He gives them hope even when life seems hopeless! He saves them even when they are beyond saving. In Jesus, we have a savior, who always gives us hope, and never leaves us out to dry. Even when life is hopeless, you have hope in Jesus' promises, that he has defeated death, he loves and gives hope to the hopeless, and he is coming soon to defeat all death.
