Trust In The Lord Your God

‘I Know The Plans I Have For You... To Give You A Future And A Hope.’

Jeremiah 29:1-32
‘I know the plans I have for you... to give you a future and a hope’. This was God’s long-term purpose for His people. It was important that they did not lose sight of this. There would be ‘seventy years’ of captivity in Babylon (10-11). At times, they must have wondered, ‘Will this ever end? Is there really something better still to come?’. Our life on earth may sometimes seem like the ‘seventy years’ in Babylon: ‘The length of our days is seventy years... yet all they bring us is trouble and sorrow’! We wonder, ‘Is there a glorious future still to come?’. In our times of ‘suffering’ and ‘sorrow’, we draw our ‘strength’ from God’s Word. We look forward to ‘the Day’ when Christ ‘comes to be glorified in His holy people and to be admired in all who believe’(Psalms 90:10; 119:28; 2 Thessalonians 1:4-5,10).

Jesus Brings Us Peace. Jesus Gives Us Hope.

* Jesus brings us peace. First, there is the peace which comes from knowing that our sins have been forgiven. Second, there is the peace which comes from knowing that Jesus Christ, "the Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6), has come to live in our hearts. We have peace because of who Jesus is. Jesus is our Saviour (Matthew 1:21). Since He is our Saviour, He is able to forgive our sins. Jesus is "Emmanuel" ("God with us") (Matthew 1:23). Since He is Emmanuel (God with us), He is able to live in our hearts.

* Jesus gives us hope. First, there is the hope which comes from the assurance that we're on our way to heaven. Second, there is the hope which comes from the assurance that Jesus is with us every step of the way. We have hope because of who Jesus is. He is the King - the King of glory and the King of love.

We know that Jesus is able to bring us safely to heaven because He Himself came from the glory of heaven - "He came down to earth from heaven, who is God and Lord of all." "Who came down from heaven to earth? Jesus Christ our Saviour!""Who is He in yonder stall, at whose feet the shepherds fall? 'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! 'Tis the Lord, the King of Glory!"

We know that Jesus will be with us every step of the way because we know that He Himself has travelled the way of the Cross. Through Jesus' death on the Cross, we have the assurance that He is the King of love. Whatever our circumstances, we rejoice that the Lord is there beside us and His Cross is there to guide us. This is the Source of our hope - Jesus Christ, the King of glory and the King of love. To know Jesus as the Saviour, Emmanuel (God with us), the King of glory and the King of love is to enjoy the blessings of His peace and hope.
May these blessings be ours today and every day.
