Jesus, Our Hope in the Waiting

Series: The Story of Redemption

Category: Hope, Gospel

Speaker: Jason Williams

In this sermon, we looked at Lamentations 3 and saw that even in the ashes of Jerusalem's ruin, the author of Lamentations rediscovers an unchanging truth: when everything falls apart, God's compassion remains. His love doesn't end when we reach the end of ourselves, and His mercy rises like the morning sun after the darkest night. Waiting becomes the place where faith grows, not because our circumstances change, but because God meets us there. In Jesus, we see the fullest expression of this truth: the Savior who gave His cheek to those who struck Him, carried our griefs, and was cast off so that we could be brought near. His compassion doesn't remove our suffering; it redeems it by transforming our lament into living hope.
