20 Promises of Jesus that will Give You Hope

Sharing is caring!

We need the promises of Jesus!

Terrorism, politics, illness, heartbreak, loss…

Sometimes this broken world feels too painful. Too hard.

And I remember Solomon’s words:

History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new. Ecclesiastes 1:9

Nothing new.

No, I’m not trying to totally depress you this Good Friday; especially when I promised you hope.

Jesus stepped into a painfully dark time in history. Roman dominance. Temple dissension. Hurting broken people. Nothing new under the sun.

But Jesus did give us new. NEW that He alone could give. New life. Changed life. Purposeful life. Redeemed life. Abundant life. Eternal life.

New! And that gives hope. Real hope. Hope that you and I can trust every promise He made. So, clothe yourself with hope today. Let go of fear, anger, frustration, and hopelessness … embrace the truth of the Good Friday to Easter to Forever through the promises of Jesus.

Promises of Jesus you can count on in this nothing new under the sun world. Because under the Son, everything is new and full of life.

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you.

“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.  There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. John 14:1–3

“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again.” John 14:27–28

Father, Thank you for Jesus. Draw me close. Not just this weekend as I remember His death and celebrate His resurrection, but every day. Always. Help me cling to the hope You give even when the world around me seems dark and ugly. I thank and praise you for the gift of hope I have in Jesus. In His precious name. Amen.

May God bless you as you cling to these promises of Jesus.
