The Celebration Of Real Hope

If Hope is something we rely on, and Hope is something we have, and Hope is something we offer, then Hope has a name – JESUS. One can also then say: “When Jesus who is my Hope gives me Hope (Himself), then I can offer my Hope (Jesus) to a person, and rely on Hope (Him) in a situation so that both I and others can SEE Hope (Jesus) more clearly.”

Ephesians 3:19-20 - May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now glory be to God! By His mighty power at work within us, He is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.

Pray today for someone that you cannot, with your earthly eyes, see come to faith. Now apply Hope to your prayer – that is JESUS – and all that He said He is and can be for that person.

Now get even more excited about the HOPE of which Christmas is just the beginning! It is truly a lifelong celebration filled with real hope, not wishful thinking or imaginations.

Sing “Joy to the World.”
