the mere sound of His name will signal Hope." Matt 12:20-21, The Message
What an amazingly striking picture this scripture paints of Jesus who is Hope to a hurting and dying world today. His Name is so powerful, that the mention of it will restore hope to the hopeless and bring light to the darkest corners of this earth. There is not a name MORE beautiful than His!
Hope is here is our brand new single we released 2 weeks ago, and today we are sharing the video that we made for The Thembalitsha Foundation with the song. Wholehearted partners with the Thembalithsa Foundation. Thembalitsha offers new hope to the poor of South Africa ; through the provision of healthcare, education and training. This video was created to create awareness of Thembalithsa and its work with the people of Grabouw, South Africa, who represents a world waiting for hope.
As the faces and realities of these beautiful people unfold in the video, there's some RED balloons that appear, tagged onto people. These symbolizes the "challenges" that these people have. Be it poverty, disease, broken homes and families, hunger or lack of education. A red balloon is also one of the symbols used on World Aids day. You see these people carrying on with life amidst their challenges.
Later on in the video you'll see a group standing together with WHITE balloons. These symbolizes a brand new start, a new beginning or new hope to the hurting world. This is the Church, followers of Christ who received the mandate to take the hope of Jesus to the world today. We are called to face the RED balloons in the lives of so many, and share with them the NEW beginnings there is in our Saviour Jesus Christ.
We are Jesus' voice to the broken, we are His face to the hurting, we are His feet to the millions that should still hear the gospel, we are His agents of hope and change in the world we face today.
So what will it be, RED or WHITE... Let's be washed white like snow by God and His love and share that with everyone around.
