And again Isaiah says, "The root of Jesse will come, even He Who arises to rule the Gentiles; in Him will the Gentiles hope."
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. (Rom 15:12-13)
Hope is a powerful thing. Our hope, as Believers, is in Christ. In His power to save. In His return.
Our hope is not a wishful thinking kind of hope, as some may think. Our hope is set on Christ and the expectancy of receiving in Him all that is promised. [click to tweet]
The hope set before us. Christ, the anchor of our lives. (Heb 6:19)
Our hope is assured and the substance of our hope produces faith.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Heb 11:1)Our hope is the evidence of things not yet seen. What is this evidence? Christ Himself. In us, the hope of glory!
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: (Col 1:27)What mystery! What glory! What wonder! What grace!
That Christ came first as a babe and died as a man to redeem us. That Christ came then into our hearts to guide us. That He will come again to make all things right.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope in your hearts this Christmas.
