A friend told me a remarkable story. Once, when he was on a hike, an ibex shook its head in front of him as if to say: ‘Stop, don’t go any further!’ At that exact moment, a huge avalanche of rocks and snow came down 100 metres in front of my friend. Can you believe this story?
In the Bible, we also read about an equally incredible event: Jesus, the Son of God, died on the cross, was buried and rose again after three days to save us. Do you believe that?
We were not present at either event. It therefore requires faith to believe it.

Faith is the supporting reason for what we hope for: trust already reveals what we cannot yet see.

Hebrews 11:1

Faith begins with having confidence in what we hope for. Jesus promises those who believe in him that they will have eternal life. This is a promise that has yet to be fulfilled. Here, too, we must believe that Jesus will keep his promise.

Take the time to think about your own faith. Is your faith filled with confident hope?
