Colossians 1:27 – “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”➡ Hope is centered in Christ Himself, not chance or wishfulness.HOPE: Which side of the bus/train are you riding in life?What you see is where you fix your eyes.If your eyes are fixed upon yourself or this world you have no hope.My eyes are fixed upon the sure word of God, which gives me hope in all things, no matter the outcome. In the KJV, h o p e is not used in the modern sense of “maybe” or “wishful thinking.” Instead, it carries the meaning of c o n f i d e n t expectation — something assured because it rests on God’s promises.Hebrews 6:19 – “Which h o p e we have as an a n c h o r of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil.”➡ Hope is pictured as an anchor — solid, secure, and steadfast.
