The Helment of Hope
November 11, 2015
I Thessalonians 5:8 “ But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.”
With the increased awareness of the issue of concussions in football, one school has decided to take valuable practice time on the field for a weekly helmet check. At Northwest Missouri University, athletic trainers and coaches work together to make sure every player’s protective gear is in good order and still fits correctly. I’m reminded that the Bible tells us to put on the “helmet of the hope of salvation.” Just as a football helmet protects your brain from high impact collisions on the field, so the helmet of hope protects your mind from the high impact collisions of life. When we receive the gift of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ, we know that we have an eternal hope beyond this life. If you feel like you’ve been tackled by this life, maybe it’s time for a helmet check. When you are wearing the helmet of the hope of salvation, you belong to God forever. The helmet of the hope of salvation will get you through tough times because you will always know that because you belong to Christ, the best is still yet to be. Are you wearing the helmet of the hope of salvation
