Journey of Hope

The journey began with a dinner among friends. They had a good time and after dinner they went outside to sit quietly.  Most of the friends fell asleep, only one remained awake.  Later, others came and broke up the party, taking one of the friends away.

Long story short, the next part of the journey was like a nightmare.  The man was arrested and separated from his friends.  After a long night, the man took a long walk with a crowd looking on, and he was eventually murdered with the crowd looking on.  All of this friends were devastated that the one they loved was dead.  All of their hope was gone.  They scattered, not knowing what to think.

For three days they languished and wondered how they would face life without their friend.  On the morning of the third day, their friend showed back up.  They were confused because he was dead and now he was alive.

They were alive.

They had hope because he was alive.

They didn't know it but because he died, they would live forever.  He gave them hope for all eternity.

The resurrection was the hope that changed the world.
