A hope beyond this world

This world tells us that death is the end of all things. Not so for believers in Jesus Christ. In these verses, Paul tells us the gospel is the good news proclaiming that death itself will one day be undone. This hope, bound to the return of Jesus Christ is the essence of the promise of the resurrection. Encouragement, not despair, is what waits Christians for their future. In a world that is hopeless and dark, the gospel is the light that paves our way home.
