Gifts of Christmas
Hope
Luke 1:46 - 55
Isaiah 7:1 - 16
Gift of Hope
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul
For some, Christmas is a duty, not a delight.
Isaiah 7:1 - 17
We need to put our hope in Him, rather than in any human solution. Ahaz chose the latter. He didn't take a step of faith.
Isaiah 7:14
An immediate answer - the situation that Ahaz was worried about would be gone.
Matthew 1:23
God is beside us in hard times.
A hope that is yet to be completed. He will come again. God's ultimate work will be achieved.
He will achieve His work in you and the world. We can be confident as we look to His Return.
For the Present, we have hope as an anchor in the storms of life.
For the Future, hope of Jesus' return. His rule will bring justice and righteousness.
Luke 1:26 - 38
It took faith for Mary to respond to God's plan for her. Jesus' coming changes everything.
The anchor allows us to move forward in faith.
Don't leave the gift of hope unwrapped.
