Have you noticed how the world views hope? "Hope for the best and prepare for the worst." "Hope is the poor man's bread." "Too much hope deceives." To many, hope is a substitute for reality. It can appear frivolous or unwise. But a Christian sees hope far differently. "Rejoice in hope of the glory of God" (Romans 5:2). The "Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope" (1 Timothy 1:1). "Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27). We Have This Hope, by Jonathan Gallagher, rejoices in the hope of eternal life and in the friendship of the Life Giver. This spirit-lifting study of 1 Timothy and Titus reveals the joys of a Christ-centered life in a way that is real and anything but pie in the sky. If life is wearing you down, We Have This Hope will remind you of the promise of everlasting happiness found in Christ.
