I read of a Christian man who once made a trip to Russia back during the Cold War. As he walked through the streets of Moscow, he felt very conspicuous and could not figure out why. He wanted to blend in, but try as he might, it became obvious to him that everyone he passed somehow knew he was not Russian.
He asked the group of Russian educators he was working with if maybe it was because of his jeans and Chicago Bulls shirt. “No, it’s not your clothes,” they replied. “What is it, then?” he asked. They huddled together and talked for several minutes. Then one, speaking for the group, answered politely, “It is your face.” “My face!” he laughed. “How does my face look different?” They talked again and then one of the teachers quietly said, “You have hope on your face.”
Does the hope you have in Christ show on your face? Can those around you notice something different about you? Through a new message series entitled, “God Can”, I pray that your hope will be renewed. As you are reminded of just what God can do in your life, may our lives (and our faces!) shine brightly with a hope only He offers.
