Many of us in the Christian community were horrified with the opening ceremony for the Olympics. It reflected the utter contempt for Christ and those who follow Him. It reflected absolutely no regard for God or His Word. It is sad and depressing to witness such a spectacle and worth noting the hypocrisy of those who sponsored it considering their own demand for respect.
We live in a fallen world. Most of us are quite aware of that. We see it in our health status when we battle disease and in the way people openly live in sin with no care for the consequences. Thankfully our hope is not in this world. It does not see us like God does nor does it truly hear our cries. This world is selfish and self absorbing. God hears us and sees our pain. He offered the ultimate gift of His own son. Our hope is not in the world but in the eternity that lays beyond. Cling to that. Place your hope in that.
