Unlimited Hope Jesus victory over death gives us unlimited hope. With all the darkness in the world, there are many reasons to be pessimistic about this life and this earth.
Human beings are bent on self-destruction.
We now have the nuclear firepower to destroy the life of every person on earth. Other countries also have nuclear firepower, biological weapons, beam weapons, and other kinds of weapons to erase humankind from the earth. In some countries that now have nuclear weapons there is now an active desire to use them. However, because of Christ's death on the cross and His victory over death, we can be optimistic about our future. We can face death with optimism every minute, every hour, every day.
