More than anything with
feathers,¹
True hope is the resurrection
of Jesus
which breaks the bonds of
sin that
shackle us to the depths
of hopelessness
and death in this dark world
and empowers us instead
to soar
by the power of the Spirit
into the light of the high
heavens.²
True hope continues to be
a person
without feather one,
who can help us to spread
our wings
and fly.
John 8:34
Romans 15:13
Luke 4:14-30
Isaiah 61:1
