HOPE

People Hope for a Saviour


“As I watched in the night visions, I saw one like a
human being coming with the clouds of heaven. And
he came to the Ancient One and was presented before
him. To him was given dominion and glory and
kingship… that shall never be destroyed.”
Daniel 7:13-14
HOPE

Our Human Condition

We swing between two extremes. Either we drift into


cynicism, supposing that evil prospers and death ends
all. Or we try to convince ourselves that a new
government, a change in leadership, some quick fix
will save us. Only special people seem to catch the
vision of God’s final kingdom of peace.
