20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” ~ Matthew 1:20-21
This world strips hope; Jesus gives hope, yet the world will not receive Him, nor will they accept Him as their Yeshua, their hope, their salvation, their Messiah, their Savior. That is what His name literally means. That’s why the angel said, “And His Name Shall Be Called Jesus because He will save His people from their sins.”
Jesus will save you from your sins. If you are burdened down with a load of care, cast your cares upon Him, for He cares for you. If you are lost and cannot find your way, Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to Father except through Him. If you have lost all hope. Jesus is the true and real Christmas Hope. He is the only way to salvation. He is the only way to eternal life.
Every day the world tries to darken the Light that is Christ the LORD, but the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome. They may be able to quiet some. They may be able to temporarily kick God out of the schools, cities, states, and even the country, but God is still God. He is still the King of kings, and He is still the LORD of lords. He is still seated on His throne, awaiting the appointed hour when He will break that eastern sky and bring judgment upon the world. But to those who have clung to His promise and His salvation, He will rescue them from that wrath. And where He is, so we will be with Him forever.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Cling To The Christmas Hope.
