A @Christadelphians Video: Description: A consideration of hope at a personal and communal level, culminating in the great hope of the gospel, is presented. This is illustrated by reference to the Bible characters Naomi, Job and Paul the Apostle and comparisons and contrasts are made with some secular material on the subject. # Summary This presentation explores the concept of hope as portrayed in the Bible, examining the perspectives of three biblical characters: Naomi, Job, and the Apostle Paul. It delves into the differences between hope and faith, and how they are intertwined in the lives of these individuals. Highlights 🌟 Hope is a personal and active thing, not just a passive waiting. It can be influenced by our faith and knowledge of God's promises. 🌳 Naomi's hope was tied to her family legacy and the inheritance of land, which was taken away and then restored in an unexpected way through her daughter-in-law Ruth. 🩹 Job's hope was systematically dismantled as he lost everything, yet he maintained a core belief in a "Redeemer" who would restore him, even after death. 🌍 The Apostle Paul's hope was not just personal, but communal and global, focused on the resurrection and the establishment of God's kingdom on Earth. 🕊️ Emily Dickinson's poem captures the idea of hope as an unconditional, indefatigable presence within the soul, which contrasts with the more contextual and relational hope expressed by the biblical characters. # Keywords - Biblical hope - Faith and hope - Redemption and restoration [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCGhyFa7C_8[/embedyt] [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css="" css_animation="none"]*************************************************************************************** This video was produced by the ChristadelphianVideo.org project, arranged and supported by Christadelphians worldwide.
