Advent season is upon us.
So let’s begin with Hope!
We all need hope. Not a, “I hope something good happens.”
But a certainty and grounded hope in the God who began a good work and is faithful to complete it.
To our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who entered into this world of darkness to make a way for us to experience the abundance of hope that we have because of His great love for us!
This advent season I pray that you begin to experience the true Hope we have because of Jesus.
“The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.”
Isaiah 9:2 NIV
“For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen!”
Isaiah 9:6-7 NLT
“There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
Isaiah 11:1-3 ESV
“And again, Isaiah says, The root of Jesse will appear, the one who rises to rule the Gentiles; the Gentiles will hope in him. , Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ”
Romans 15:12-13 CSB
