A feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen – the notion that what is wanted can be had, and that events will turn out for the best. Hope has always lifted the human heart. In Old Testament times, the beleaguered hoped for deliverance, the sick hoped for healing, and the Israelites hoped for freedom in a new and peaceful world. But during one moment in time, over 2000 years ago, hope took on new meaning, and today (tonight) we celebrate that moment, when hope came as a gift from God. That gift brought with it the beginning of a new kind of hope: that the world could be set right, that peace would overcome strife, and that all people could receive the greatest gift imaginable – the gift of eternal life. Hope is ours to claim because of that one glorious moment, when in a stable in Bethlehem, a baby was born. For Preview Only
