Acts 2:26

Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.

1. Even in death there can be rejoicing and gladness. Death is a time of mourning. But it can also be a celebration of life and victory.

2. The flesh (body) will have rest - from pain, stress, agony and torture. The body of Jesus went through a tremendous amount of pain in the 24 hours before His death.

3. But even our stressed, diseased body will have hope.

1. HOPE is a combination of Desire and Expectation.

2. Desire alone becomes our wishes, our dreams.

3. Expectation alone is a dread and fear.
