"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)

"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths for His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely Your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

- Psalm 23

"'Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest.'"
