Title: Your Only Hope
Author: Jeff Schreve
Text: Romans 15:12-13
On December 17, 1927 a tragedy occurred at sea. The USS S4 submarine surfaced about a mile off of the coast of Cape Cod. And when the submarine surfaced, it surfaced in the path of a coast guard destroyer. The destroyer couldn't move in time and ended up ramming the hull of the submarine. The collision ripped a 4' x 2' gash in the hull. The submarine was manned by 40 men and when the water came rushing in, the submarine began to sink and pouring gas was emitted. Thirty-four of those men died very quickly. Six of them made it to the torpedo room, and they sealed off the door and it was airtight. There was air in that torpedo room, but it only would last for a little while. They sent divers down to see what they could do to rescue these men. They communicated through Morse Code as they taped on the hull of the submarine. And the men trapped in the torpedo room tapped out a message, four words: "Is there any hope?"
You know, I think that's a question that many people are asking today. Is there any hope? Is there any hope in our world? I mean, you watch the news and it's just negative, negative, negative. It's just awful, awful, awful. Kids are being taught today that the world is going to end in 12 years unless we quit flying in airplanes and riding in cars and having cows. We get this idea that this is awful and there is no hope. Is there any hope for our world? Is there any hope for America? Let's make it personal. Is there any hope for me, for my situation, for my marriage, for my future and for my family? Is there any hope?
We have good news to share today on this Easter Sunday morning. Because Jesus died on the cross and rose again on the third day, there is hope in Him. Hope for every situation. Hope for every person. The door of heaven is open wide for anyone who will receive Christ and put their faith and trust in Him. There is hope.
