Why Jesus’ Death Means Hope for You

2 Corinthians 5:14

One has died for all.

2 corinthians 5:14

Jesus “died for all,” so there is hope for you. Because everything God has done in Jesus Christ on the cross to change your life and death can be yours today — no exclusions. No one is beyond the bounds of the grace that God has poured out in Jesus.

If Jesus “died for all,” then there’s love in the heart of Jesus for all. He can fill you and change you with this love. Notice Paul says, “He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised” (5:15).

You cannot serve a dead saviour. Only a living saviour is able to deliver you from the misery of living for yourself and bring you into the joy of living for him. Jesus is the living Saviour who can change the face of death and the course of life for you!

Come to Him. Tell Him that you see your need of Him and that your only hope is in Him. Tell Him you are tired of living for yourself. Place your life into His hands and give yourself to Him. Ask Him to make you His own, and forgive your many sins, and lead you into a new life.

Jesus died in your place to change the face of death for you forever and to deliver you from the misery of living for yourself. Through His love, He is able to release you from the tyranny of self and lead you into a new life for Him. He is able and He is ready. So don’t lose heart.

Where do you see new hope today?
