  • Some similarities between then and now:

    The Hard Hat Riot occurred in New York City on May 8, 1970, when around 400 construction workers and around 800 office workers attacked around 1,000 demonstrators affiliated with the student strike of 1970. The students were protesting the May 4 Kent State shootings and the Vietnam War, following the April 30 announcement by President Richard Nixon of the U.S. invasion of neutral Cambodia. Some construction workers carried U.S. flags and chanted, "USA, All the way" and "America, love it or leave it." Anti-war protesters shouted, “Peace now."

    The riot, first breaking out near the intersection of Wall Street and Broad Street in Lower Manhattan, led to a mob scene with more than 20,000 people in the streets, eventually leading to a siege of New York City Hall, an attack on the conservative Pace University and lasted more than three hours. Around 100 people, including seven policemen, were injured on what became known as Bloody Friday. Six people were arrested, but only one of them was a construction worker associated with the rioters.[1][2][3][4] Nixon invited the hardhat leaders to Washington, D.C., and accepted a hardhat from them.

  • Brethren, how glorious is the hope that is laid up for us in heaven (Col. 1:5). For “eye has not seen and ear has not heard…all that God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Cor. 2:9).

    Our inheritance is great. He “has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for” us (1 Pet. 1:3:3-4).

    This knowledge is wonderful and beyond full comprehension. And thus, our focus and hope should not be here on earth, nor should our love be for the things of the earth; for these are not from the Father and lead only away from Him (1 Jn. 2:15-16). Instead, let us forget what is behind, and “press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 3:13-14).

    Our calling is a higher one, and our hope is in eternity, not the temporal. Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and your needs will be met (Mt. 6:33). Keep seeking and set your minds on things above, not the things of earth (Col. 3:1-2).

    Our hope should bring us joy, because we know where our future lies.

    “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”(Rom. 15:13).

    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Morning, October 2

    "The hope which is laid up for you in heaven." Colossians 1:5

    Our hope in Christ for the future is the mainspring and the mainstay of our joy here. It will animate our hearts to think often of heaven, for all that we can desire is promised there. Here we are weary and toilworn, but yonder is the land of rest where the sweat of labour shall no more bedew the worker's brow, and fatigue shall be for ever banished. To those who are weary and spent, the word "rest" is full of heaven. We are always in the field of battle; we are so tempted within, and so molested by foes without, that we have little or no peace; but in heaven we shall enjoy the victory, when the banner shall be waved aloft in triumph, and the sword shall be sheathed, and we shall hear our Captain say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." We have suffered bereavement after bereavement, but we are going to the land of the immortal where graves are unknown things. Here sin is a constant grief to us, but there we shall be perfectly holy, for there shall by no means enter into that kingdom anything which defileth. Hemlock springs not up in the furrows of celestial fields. Oh! is it not joy, that you are not to be in banishment for ever, that you are not to dwell eternally in this wilderness, but shall soon inherit Canaan? Nevertheless let it never be said of us, that we are dreaming about the future and forgetting the present, let the future sanctify the present to highest uses. Through the Spirit of God the hope of heaven is the most potent force for the product of virtue; it is a fountain of joyous effort, it is the corner stone of cheerful holiness. The man who has this hope in him goes about his work with vigour, for the joy of the Lord is his strength. He fights against temptation with ardour, for the hope of the next world repels the fiery darts of the adversary. He can labour without present reward, for he looks for a reward in the world to come.
