Recently, the countries of Haiti and Chile have been rocked with earthquakes leaving many people dead and even more people homeless. Also, various other disasters, both natural and man-made likewise have wreaked havoc on many nations. Because of our faith in Jesus Christ the Risen Savior, we can hope in these circumstances. In this life we have our crosses to bear, but the One who bore His cross up the hill of Calvary has transformed our death. Jesus is Life and will give Life to all who believe and hope in Him. As Saint Paul has said: "hope does not disappoint."
