Recognizing the key role that hope plays in our lives, we encourage each other by saying, “Keep your hopes up!” We also realize that a situation is lost if someone gives up hope. With so many difficulties in our lives, we need hope to keep going. In I Peter 1:3-12, God calls his people to be a hopeful people, but not based on wishful thinking but on his own work for us.
As Jesus finally approached Jerusalem, he admonished the leaders and affirmed his mission.
In his opening thanksgiving and prayer, Paul focused on our three most important days.
As the second Adam and the faithful Israel, Jesus resisted temptation and so can help us when we are tempted.
