HOPE...

Let me  quote someone probably known to all of us – the wise but godless, cynical man, Dr. House: “Apparently you can‘t live without love. I personally believe that oxygen is more important.

He’s right, in the sense – a man can survive without oxygen only for 3 minutes.

But I also lastly heard that a man can’t survive even one second without HOPE. Worthy of deeper thoughts... And it comes to us hove much our whole life is motivated by HOPE.

Jesus is, and always has been, The HOPE of mankind.

“The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” - which means, “God with us.”  (Isaiah 7:14 & Matthew 1:23)

Although we’re no longer waiting for Jesus in the form of an infant, He is still the source of our HOPE. We watch for His second coming – as the Victor and Judge who will bring justice, don’t we? Do we have this HOPE?

So far there is still actual what apostle Paul preached: “The mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but now is disclosed for the saints. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious to his ministry, which is Christ in you, the HOPE of Glory,” (Colossians 1:26-27).

The key word of Christmas is then “Immanuel” – God with us. With this perspective we wish you all Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year 2012 base on the Living Hope.
