We have a lot to be merry about, because Hope was born!
It all goes along with why we celebrate Christmas. Because the Hope of the world was born. This is why we are so joyous this time of year, we have hope that we are not beyond redemption! The Saviour of the world has come, and he has given the human race a second chance at eternal life. You know my love of music, and yes, I found a song that describes what I am trying to say:
Hope Was Born This Knight
Written by Ben McDonald/Dave Frey
Tonight I can see a star shine
And its splendor fills up the sky
It’s the same that appeared
And the wisemen revered
When Hope was born this night
Out upon the snowy fields
There’s a silent peace that heals
And it echoes the grace
Of our Savior’s embrace
Because Hope was born this night
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on earth
Goodwill to men
Let all of the world
Sing the chorus of joy
Because Hope was born this night
I can hear the Christmas bells ringing
As softly a church choir sings
It’s the song used to praise
The ancient of days
When Hope was born this night
There are angels in this place
And my heart resounds in the praise
Like a shepherd so scared
I’ll rejoice and declare
That Hope was born this night
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on earth
Goodwill to men
Let all of the world
Sing the chorus of joy
Because Hope was born this night
Gloria
Gloria
Gloria
Gloria
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on earth
Goodwill to men
Let all of the world
Sing the chorus of joy
Because Hope was born this night
Because Hope was born this night
I know hope was born this night
Because Christ was born this night
Praying each and every one of you will cling to the Hope born this night! Wishing all of you had a very Merry Christmas, surrounded by those you love. And will keep Christmas in your heart all year through!
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the euidence of things not seen.”
Hebrews 11:1
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:2-5
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Romans 8:24-25
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
Jeremiah 17:7
