The Hope of Jesus

“A man sentenced to death obtained a reprieve by assuring the king he would teach his majesty’s horse to fly within the year – on the condition that if he didn’t succeed, he would be put to death at the end of the year.  ‘Within a year,’ the man explained later, ‘the king may die, or I may die, or the horse may die.  Furthermore, in a year, who knows?  Maybe the horse will learn to fly.’” (Bernard M. Baruch)

There are many people in our world who put their hopes in things such as this man, things that may or may not happen.  Or perhaps even hoping in the impossible.  But the disciple of Christ does not hope in such a way or in such things. 

Hope in Jesus Christ is not fantasy or maybe or perhaps.  Hope in Jesus Christ is a certainty that he is the Son of God, the Savior of the world, and the only way to a life of joy, peace, and hope.  This Christmas season our hope is found only in Him.  Where all other things around us are fleeting and as easily caught as the wind, our Savior is the only true hope. 

Join us this week as we look into the hope that is found in Jesus.  May God’s Word speak to us, remind us, or even teach us for the first time what this true Hope looks like.
