“There is no hope for me. God cannot forgive me for the things I have done!” I heard these words while sitting across the table from a middle age man in July of 2016. My heart broke to hear him say and believe such statements. I passionately assured him that God did love him very much and that Jesus came to take his punishment for all of his sin and deliver him. Sadly, this man ended up taking his own life and I will never forget his hopelessness. He is not alone in his hopelessness. Suicide rates have reached highest point in more than 80 years according to USA Today. Is there an answer to the hopelessness of mankind? The Bible tells us that there is and His name is Jesus. He came to earth as a servant not only to give us hope, but to be our hope.
