## Resource

Our hope as believers brings a stark contrast to the world's lack of hope. Focus on the unseen--focus on the eternal! What hope do we have that the world wants to hear. Jesus gives us hope in so many different facets. Focusing on eternity is hope the world can't boast about. The world's lack of hope must be addressed.
