The title of this series, ‘Hope is Here’, is applicable to all scripture from Genesis to Revelation. God’s Word is a letter of hope to a hopeless world, and a love letter to lost people. It contains a message which was suitable for past generations, is relevant for society today, and one that will endure forever!
I have chosen two passages of scripture which highlight the amazing message of ‘Hope is here’.
Luke 2 :8-18 (ESV) -
And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them,
“Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and
lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
