James Reapsome

Hope appears to be in short supply; discouragement reigns. But God’s people are supposed to be people of hope. The church’s world mission is supposed to be energized by hope. How we need Christians like Simeon (Luke 2) to stand up today in our churches. This is the time for people of hope to make a difference, to dispel discouragement and darkness … (to) see God’s revelation in the person of Jesus Christ. If our worldwide mission means anything, it means we must be ministers of hope to despairing people.
