Somehow, I don’t think Jesus thinks much of pessimists.

Take a moment and do a little deep thinking about pessimism.

What is the POINT? It’s like a team behind at halftime mewling, “This is impossible, we’ll never win.” Wasting time bathing in pity instead of working up a game plan for the second half.

Pessimism is always just taking the easy way out.

My pessimism is only in the things of this world, my friend. Scripture supports that view. This world and its governments are not going to get better, and I am sad for you if you have such hope. “The whole world lieth in the evil one.” - Jesus. There is no hope in this world but in the Lord Jesus.

I am wholly an optimist in the things of God and of all things being ultimately under His sovereign control.....and we know He and we “win in the end.”.see Hebrews 2:8, 9 and 12:26 - 29, 13:14.

There is no hope in politics because politics ignores man’s root problem - sin.
