Hope we can believe in

The preacher spoke last Sunday about hope, which got me thinking. With the economy in a downward spiral (as reflected in the balance of my brokerage accounts), people are grasping for hope. A multitude of Americans have put their hope in President Obama (as symbolized in Shepard Fairey's iconic image from the '08 campaign). But putting one's hope in man will always lead to disappointment. There is only one source of real hope.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead... 1 Peter 1:3
