"The Hope of Redemption"

For the people of Tohoku.
December 16th, 2011

He will be your calm in the storm. He will be your peace in tribulation. He will be the redemption of every thing that has been destroyed in you and taken from you. You can't see how He will redeem these things, but He wants you to trust Him. Look to the cross! Look to what He has done for you for all eternity! It is finished! It is accomplished, He has risen from the grave! He will redeem all things!

"We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves... groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved."
(Rom.8:22-24)

"For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Jesus, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross."
(Col.1:19-20)
