The Birth of Hope to a Hopeless World.

Scripture Reading:
“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given…” — Isaiah 9:6

🕊️ MEDITATION
Before Jesus was born, the world was heavy with sin, fear, oppression, and silence.
For centuries, heaven seemed quiet, until hope was born.
Jesus did not come into a perfect world; He came into a broken one, as the world currently is.

His birth announced that God had not abandoned humanity.
Hope is not a feeling, it is a Person.
Where Jesus is present, despair loses its power.

No matter how dark life feels, the birth of Christ declares that hope still lives.

📌 THREE WAYS JESUS’ BIRTH BROUGHT HOPE:

1. Hope of Salvation: Sin no longer had the final word.
   Scripture:
   “For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” — Luke 19:10
2. Hope of Peace With God: Reconciliation became possible.
   Scripture:
   “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God…” — Romans 5:1
3. Hope of a New Beginning: Lives could start afresh.
   Scripture:
   “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17

In what area do I need renewed hope not the governmental hope?
Have I allowed circumstances to silence my hope?
