The Christian faith is in essence a message of hope – not the vague, wishful kind but the confident, unstoppable, life-enriching kind. It is this because Christianity is founded on an absolutely certain historical event of monumental proportions – the death and then, amazingly, resurrection of the man Jesus Christ.
These events not only establish that Jesus is who he said he was but they create the way to connect intimately with the living God – forgiven, loved and made new with a sure and certain hope for life now and beyond the grave.
To know Jesus is to know life and live it confidently. Our God wants all people to know this hope!
