Sarah will be telling her childhood experiences to over 30 kids tonight at local church youth group!!
Why does Christ's Ascension give us hope?
SARAH'S ANSWER:
Jesus Christ's ascension gives us hope, because he promised to return.
1 Thess 4:16-17
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with
the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And
the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left,
will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in
the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
We do not know when Jesus will return, but we know that it could be at
any given moment. And any hardship we face in a particular moment is no
longer worth worrying over or dwelling on, because in that moment, Christ
could come back and there will only be love, prosperity and great health.
ANYONE who truly believes Romans 10:9-10 will be going to heaven, and
nothing can stop that truth. Therefore, nothing can really be that bad,
because we know that if we believe Romans 10:9-10 (from which you begin a
relationship with God), we are able to look forward to the moment of
Christ's return.
What advice would you give when kids face hardships?
SARAH'S ANSWER:
Always remembering 3 John 1:2 "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou
mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." I KNOW
that my future will be blessed and fruitful. God wishes ABOVE all things
that I am blessed, in good health and am abundantly provided for.
Ultimately, I hope that the EDGE kids learn to "hold the hope" of
Christ's return in their hearts. As Romans 8:35-39 says: "Who shall
separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is
written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as
sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities (leaders), nor powers,
nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any
other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which
is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
