Hope

For in hope we were saved, but hope that is seen is not hope: for what he sees, what are you waiting?
Romans 8.24

With hope we were saved, only to wait what we're seeing is not hope, then, Who hopes for what is already seeing?
Romans 8.24 (V. Dios Habla Hoy).

There are a lot of terminology, many definitions, much to investigate, much to where to focus, we can investigate each one of us the definition that would seem more appropriate, perhaps after listening to each other end up accepting one or other definition of hope.

Hope leads us to speak of dreams, plans, hopes, perhaps a new life, new beginnings, we could also hear the word of the promises, commitments, responsibility.

Today not only want to talk about next time, not to mention only the facts that happened and will happen, deep inside my heart has been the need to grow in understanding and discernment of each of the terms in these dates results and caused such diverse creeds and movements within our culture, the significance of the belief that such splendid things happen and are happening, because things as simple as a memorial or remembrance of the birth of a moving us both, because neither even we ourselves possess such a call but only with members of our family and friends.

On many occasions we have generated thoughts that at times lead us to believe that material or earthly things will protect us or that we must comply or which will compromise, but for more we have, do, say, think, create one of us depend on the human, in the material, as ground meat in it, do it. . . things like "I'll be good this Christmas", "help in preparing dinner," "I'll go visit my family," "my grades get better", "read a little to increase my culture," "obey more and rezongaré less "," listen to advice even if they are inimical to my criteria, "" analyze everything, leave the bad, I'll take the good. " . . All this leads me to recall a story created in the past where there was an outcast and a beggar noble servant of the king's wine taster.

It was customary in the past there were a number of assessors in the king's wine, the wine must spend at least two assessors before being drunk by the king, that wine must be new, just opened or prepared and it should be served in new vessels to preserve the flavor, and nobody, nobody could drink the wine of the king or even play the new vessels, who was executed for insulting do the "real greatness," the old wine was discarded and rarely rarely the old wine could be consumed by someone of royalty including the Queen herself. Well, this noble servant should spend every day where the beggar walked, and every day the beggar asked for some wine with that slave, day after day the outcast beggar begging, asking for a little wine, until one of many days that servant was given a little wine and reminded the beggar who was waiting to see if he could serve something so I took a glass, a glass and put that beggar in front of the wine so that he be served, but to see that beggar had to raise your hand, pour wine into a glass and return the remainder is unworthy and not meant it, surprised that it was disgruntled noble servant wondering what happened happened and begged the beggar will serve wine, but the outcast beggar did not want to do and instead took the vessel out of the cup spilled wine and broke the vase, at the time the royal guard escorting the king who was passing through that part of the palace and observed the broken vessel, asked to see who had done so and all the blame was accepted by the noble servant without but the king ordered the execution to that servant and erase his name from all the actual records to memory that was not ungrateful. Weeks later the beggar died, and never could also try some of that real wine, not for a moment was able to enjoy the highlights that had been awarded and his "pride" never allowed to acknowledge his mistake with that servant, whom I killed the share of this royal gift.

He who has ears to hear let him hear what God tells his people.

This story often reminds me that every day we see those beggars in the streets, so many beggars who wander the streets begging and stories that we hear ever been offered some of them work and not wanting to work for want everything free , have spurned decent jobs that can come with effort to grow and survive, poor beggars.

Woe to us because we always have "materially poor?, Do not know," spiritually? Neither are, but what Master told us, 2 Corinthians 8.9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ who for our sake became poor, being rich, that ye through his poverty might become rich "But the Lord only once he became poor, or how many times we have to do to make us rich poor or poor because we do if we've accepted and we have neglected the gift of God is giving us a Jesus who has traced the path of salvation , who has created the path to grace the path to eternal life, because hope is also Confidence, Safety, Certainty, certainty, hope, illusion, Fe, is patience, and patience "that brings?, patience is put , sharing, faith add virtue, virtue, knowledge, self knowledge, and to self-patience, patience godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness and to brotherly kindness, love and all these things pertain to life and piety, and we have been given by the divine power of God, to attain the supreme knowledge of Him who loved us and who called us by glory and excellence, and through all these things can get very great and precious promises, so thereby meet the divine nature that is in Christ Jesus.

But our flesh is committed to not want to know about our spiritual communion, let alone the giver of it. Because, what is the hope of creation?, What is the body that we hope?, What is the spiritual redemption in which we live? Romans 8.19 tells us. . . (Read) building expects to see the manifestation of God's people, hopes to share the freedom of the sons of God, The creation awaits the resurrection of the sons of God because this will be the beginning of a profound renewal of nature to life eternal.

The hope is to get body glorified bodies, bodies renewed, perhaps today we do not have a strong body, athletic or totally healthy, but not we throw it away or neglect, although Timothy was instructed how to care for your own body from its continued evils, let alone the Lord Jesus Christ healed, restored, renewed those in need and why it is important to take care? Because the body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, therefore must be perfect, no holes, no scratches, no things that overlap the worship He deserves worship, so the psalmist said in Psalm and Psalm 139.13-18 51.9-11 states: Hide thy face from my sins and blot out all my misdeeds Create in me a clean heart O God and renew a right spirit within me Cast me not away from Thy presence and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me " Why do they come from the lawsuits, the wrath, strife?, where does sin?, meat, not the spirit, not the other, but to me that I take and what took place, comes from I make it my

So What is the spiritual hope of redemption which we live? Just think, just live in it, because this is already accomplished and hope by this we know that Christ Jesus came to seek and to save what was lost, because descended from his infinite glory and took shape as a man born on a cold night, to give freedom, to give joy, hope, to bring freedom, to give life. . . and many knew him, many despised him ever since its birth, many will know it exists today, but have not known, by this we know that dwells in us, but not all you have, because having him is to possess, and possess is to demonstrate in our daily lives, those who already have it can renew their hope because hope is something that we do not see and although we have not seen our heavenly home already possess, by faith, because although we have not seen the eternal life , we have it because we believe that we have obtained through powerful man also called Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace.

AMEN.
