No matter the greatest hurt and suffering in your life and no matter what terrible deeds you have done, you can find hope in Jesus Christ.
Let us examine some hopeful Bible verses including the opening of the Gospel of John to show you that in Jesus you have hope for a secure, peaceful and joyful future.
The Gospel message is there for us in order to ignite believing faith in the hearts of followers of Christ and those searching for hope to encourage a life that reflects trust and love in the Lord Jesus Christ.
John 1:1-17 presents the Lord in a way that we can see Him as our ultimate hope and God personified.
Jesus IS The Word of God
John 1:1-2
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
If Jesus is just a prophet to us that provides good advice for living our lives - If that is all He is to us then He died in vain.
Christ is the Word. In the beginning the Word was with God and the Word was God.
Jesus is deity, He is God and there is no other God.
God is The Father and The Son and The Holy Spirit - the triune nature of God.
John 10:30-33
30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me.
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
God the Creator of All
John 1:3
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
The devil can create nothing, but only imitate and exaggerate.
The devil exaggerates and exacerbates your problems.
Everything in creation was created by God.
The power to hold the universe together cannot be explained by physicists, but at the same time in His awesome power He will come into your life and hold YOU together in your hardest trials and tell you, "Fear Not!"
The physicists are baffled that the universe does not just fall apart based on what they know about gravity, but God holds it all together in His power and for His glory.

The Light That Is Jesus
John 1:4-9
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
John the Baptist cried from the wilderness to proclaim the coming of Jesus the Messiah, to be a witness of Him.
No matter how dark the world gets it cannot snuff out the light that is Jesus Christ.
You can be discouraged at times by the darkness and wickedness of the world, but be of good cheer, Jesus has overcome the world so let His light shine through you.
The World Rejects Jesus
John 1:10-11
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Jesus is the true light that made the world and came into the world and the world rejected Him because we love darkness.
We love darkness because our deeds are evil and we do not want our sins to have the light shined on them.
Have you ever heard of a light club? No, it is always night club because our deeds are evil.
Jesus was rejected because He was not the political figure the people wanted to make Israel great again and free them from Roman oppression.
The Messiah was not what the people expected and many times in our lives we seek something to save us while rejecting the true light.
We seek fulfillment in our computers, devices and businesses but true and ultimate victory and fulfillment comes from rejoicing in the true light of Jesus.
Micah 7:8
8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.
Hope Personified
Christ came into the world as the light and hope to all mankind.
Christ is the only way to God. Jesus is our only authorization to be able to call ourselves a child of God.
You must be born again in Spirit and water into the love of Jesus Christ to learn to reject the wickedness of the world and embrace your heavenly family.
This is a work of God and is given to us the right to be adopted as children of God.
Galatians 4:6-7
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Christ is the only Revelation
John 1:12-17
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
'grace for grace' means blessing after blessing for those who have received Jesus as their Lord and savior and keep their hope solely on Him.
Jesus is the full Revelation of God.
John 14:9
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
"Jesus Christ is God in the form of man;
as completely God as if he were not man;
as completely man as if he were not God."
~ AJF Behrends
Jesus demonstrated for us the personification of God displaying the character of God as being perfect without sin.
Jesus knows how you feel because of His experience as a man, being tempted, yet without sin. He knows every little detail about you and it is truth that He knows you better than you know yourself.
Romans 4:25
25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Grace and Truth is the Foundation for Your Hope
Jesus was full of grace and truth, both of which we need for our salvation.
How can we live a life of sin if we accept Jesus into our lives - we cannot because the Spirit of God dwells in us.
This does not mean you won't make mistakes and you will have temptations and troubles, but your lifestyle will undergo radical change when you are addicted to the grace, truth and hope of Jesus Christ.
Serve the Lord in knowing His grace and truth and you will have blessing after blessing and your hope will be complete.
What is your deepest hurt? What is your worst sin? God will take that grief and work it for His glory through Jesus. You may have a future of ministry that you do not know, yet. You may have a future of being a great blessing to others.
I know, I have had much grief and sin in my life, but the Lord has guided me to build this website as a testimony to the great things Jesus has done for me to turn my life around by His grace and truth giving me hope in Him.
Hebrews 7:25-28
25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
Your salvation never ends once you decide to accept Christ because His priesthood has no end.
If you do not know Christ but want to partake in Jesus' great love for you say this prayer...
Dear Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God, I believe you died for my sins and I believe you are risen from the dead, forgive me for my sins, come into my life and make me new, I surrender my life to you and I receive you as my Lord and my Savior, take my life and make it yours, thank you for your love. In Jesus' Great Name Amen.

When our hope is hinged on God, we'll not be distressed. Thank you @deathlyhorror for sharing
Well said. We are the vessels and God is the guide and fulfillment.
We know that God is with us no matter what happens. We're not promised happiness or health but we know that God will provide us with what we need. At times I've been really low on money but I've never been homeless or hungry.
Good thoughts, @barncat. I have been homeless, but God always took care of me and eventually got me out of it - all for His glory.
Let's bring the heart to God, HE in his infinite goodness works for and with all of us
Romans 8:28
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
