Behind The Name

Columbus, Ohio is now the 15th largest city and one of the top relocating cities in America. With the city being named after the great explorer Christopher Columbus, the city holds true to its name drawing thousands every year to uproot and plant their hopes and dreams in Central Ohio. The Bible says in the Old Testament that the hopes and dreams of those who are lost are worthless and will not satisfy. God invites all people in Psalm 34:8 to "Taste and see that He is good." Hope is not a bad thing, it just won't last, nor will it satisfy. However, there is good news. The Bible says in 1 Peter 1:3 that, "We have a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ." That's the only hope I need and the only hope I want! As thousands move to Central Ohio with their hopes and dreams, let us share with them the only hope that will last, the living hope found only in a relationship with Jesus Christ!
