[1353.24 --> 1355.22] and yet a story that is not concluded.
[1356.26 --> 1358.74] The conclusion comes with Christ's second coming,
[1358.82 --> 1361.00] where he will redeem all things once and for all.
[1361.38 --> 1362.64] That is our hope,
[1362.96 --> 1365.92] and it is an eternal hope.
[1369.50 --> 1370.34] Concluding with this,
[1370.38 --> 1371.18] as I mentioned earlier,
[1371.24 --> 1372.22] our hope is not earned.
[1372.98 --> 1374.04] Our hope is not bought.
[1374.04 --> 1376.18] Our hope is not even found,
[1376.26 --> 1378.56] because that presumes we need to search for it.
[1379.82 --> 1380.04] No.
[1380.50 --> 1382.06] Our hope is a gift.
[1382.20 --> 1385.80] It is a faith in our intimate relationship with Christ Jesus,
[1386.10 --> 1387.22] our Savior.
[1387.98 --> 1390.00] And this hope is available to everyone,
[1390.60 --> 1392.10] no matter their circumstance.
[1394.56 --> 1400.44] That is why Habakkuk could rejoice in the midst of his impending captivity.
[1400.44 --> 1404.06] That is why Christians can sing at funerals.
[1404.26 --> 1407.80] That is why we can be caught dancing in the dirge.
[1408.32 --> 1412.62] That is why we can be wrecked and worshiping.
[1413.66 --> 1416.80] Because our hope is secure in Christ.
[1417.96 --> 1418.28] Amen.
[1418.50 --> 1418.94] Let me pray.
[1420.48 --> 1425.42] Father God, we are so grateful for this eternal hope in you.
[1425.42 --> 1430.72] Lord, the gospel truths of Christ's life, death, and resurrection,
[1431.36 --> 1434.26] and the knowledge that we have that he will once come again,
[1434.32 --> 1435.22] he will soon come again.
[1436.06 --> 1437.12] That is our hope.
[1437.70 --> 1442.00] God, we ask for forgiveness when we put our hope in finite things.
[1443.52 --> 1444.96] May you convict us when we do.
[1446.26 --> 1449.96] Lord, will you draw us more in to your story,
[1449.96 --> 1453.82] your story of redemption for all of the cosmos.
[1454.22 --> 1459.08] And may we take this hope and apply it to our lives.
[1459.88 --> 1462.58] May we stop looking for hope in the wrong things,
[1462.80 --> 1465.64] and may we focus it solely on you.
[1465.90 --> 1467.54] We pray this in your name.
[1468.08 --> 1468.36] Amen.
[1468.36 --> 1468.48] Amen.
