Easter: Hope RenewedSample

Hope in Jesus

Life is unpredictable at times. We cannot control everything that we encounter. Even when it seems like life is in order, hidden struggles can tell a different story. Everyone has had some sort of trauma in their life. This trauma can lead to feelings of shame, suffering, and sin. God knew this and chose to send his Son, Jesus, to help. David Gucci expands on what he learned from the trauma from his experience as a foster child.

Through that difficult period, David better understood God's grace and mercy. When he accepted God's life-changing words that morning, it felt as if he had been freed. He came to realize the love of an Almighty Father. He no longer had to carry the weight of his traumas and sin in this world. Jesus gave His life so that we could know grace and mercy. To have hope in a world of darkness is an option for all...even you.
