Hope

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Emmanuel.

Hope fulfilled . . . . in a baby.

Four hundred years of anticipation by an oppressed people, in one angelic moment, became 40 weeks of nervous wonderment for a young virgin and her betrothed.

Then as a bright star hung in the Bethlehem sky, the years and weeks of waiting quickly became an immediate fulfillment of prophecy—God was with us. The Emmanuel had arrived!

The fulfillment of hope became the possessor of Hope!!

This Advent Season, embrace the bearer of Hope, Peace, Love and Joy.

You will never be the same!
