We no doubt live in a broken and fragmented world characterized by undeniable fearfulness. So where can we find hope? While secular optimism looks to what might happen someday, Christian hope is based in the assurance of what has happened already. Alistair Begg explains that by bowing beneath Christ’s supremacy and being absolutely convinced of the sufficiency of His work, we can find stability, steadfastness, and perseverance in the hope of the Gospel.
15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16For by6 him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
21And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation7 under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
