We live in a period of time where many people are hurting. Homes are broken, jobs are lost, and political and financial instability is the reality of our day. In response to all of the despair, many people have turned to drugs, alcohol, and sexual impurity in order to fill the emptiness and longings they have inside. How do we cope with all of this? How can we go on? First of all, we must understand the source of all the problems in our world. The source is very simple; it is sin. The existence of sin in our world has resulted in pain, suffering, and despair. Ever since Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden, the world has been in turmoil. We are on a downward spiral with no hope of making things better. However, though we are without hope there is hope to be found. You see, just as the cause of all the world’s troubles is the existence of sin, the remedy for all the world’s troubles is the remedy for sin which is none other than Jesus Christ. He is is the only one that gives hope to a hopeless world. In order to face all that you are going through, make sure your faith in Jesus is strong. When you trust in Jesus then you can face whatever this life may bring. Focus on Jesus and not on the circumstances. Trust in Him and not in your self.
