Whenever I hear the word “Hope” I get excited. Whenever I see the word “Hope” written I get excited. And that’s exactly what happened again when I saw the word “Hope” written on an advertisement at the National Bank of NZ: “HELP US GROW HOPE.”

It is all about the Daffodil Day of the Cancer Society. The National Bank of NZ encourages us to donate money to support New Zealanders affected by cancer. The Bank is doing this already since 1990.

Not only New Zealanders affected by cancer are looking for hope. All New Zealanders are looking for hope. In fact the whole world is looking for hope. The country does not matter. The language does not matter. The skin colour does not matter. Every human being is looking for HOPE!

But where do we find HOPE?

The Bible, the Word of the Living God, is telling us about the REAL HOPE.

1. The GOSPEL is our hope. Colossians 1:23

2. The LORD JESUS CHRIST is our hope. First Timothy 1:1

3. We do have the hope of  ETERNAL LIFE. Titus 3:7

4. We do have a LIVING hope. First Peter 1:3

Eventually all New Zealanders affected by cancer will die. I want to ask those effected by cancer, ” Do you have a relationship with the Living God? How good is your relationship with the Living God?

ONLY YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST MATTERS ON THE LAST DAY OF YOUR LIFE!!
