John 16:33
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.

Peace in your heart. The world has been full of chaos and corruption since thorns and thistles started growing. And during this Christmas season, it can feel impossible to escape the things that poke and prod at our hearts. Yet even when life feels overwhelming, we can hold onto the truth: the Savior has overcome, and in Him, our hearts can find lasting peace.

Lamentations 3:21-23
But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Hope in God’s mercy. When you think about the baby born in a manger over 2,000 years ago, He was a living symbol of God’s mercy for you. He embodied the love of the Father for the world. And even though He came to this world fragile and small, His power wasn’t measured by the ability to conquer earthly kingdoms. His power was in His ability to conquer sin and death, to bring hope and life to all who believe.

Luke 1:33
And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.

Hope in His kingdom. God’s plan was in motion long before Mary and Joseph ever appeared on the scene. And yet, both of their genealogies can be traced all the way back to Jacob—a reminder that God’s promise of an everlasting, unshakable kingdom spans many generations. And it continues to unfold today!

John 1:14
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Hope in the Word. Jesus came to earth as a tiny, fragile baby. And that seemingly insignificant child became the Savior of the world. The amazing thing is every promise, every prophecy, every word written about Him in Scripture came true. Since God’s Word never fails, you can place your hope in it today.

Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Hope for those who believe. There were many who longed for the Messiah and Mary was one of them. So, when the angel came to her with the news of her pregnancy. She didn’t question if it would happen, she simply asked how. And it’s because her hope wasn’t tied to her circumstances or in what she could see, but it was anchored in the God who always keeps His promises.

Luke 2:10-11
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.

Hope for the lowly. The shepherds were at the very bottom of the social ladder-unimportant in the eyes of the world. Yet the greatest announcement heaven ever made wasn’t given to kings or scholars…but to a group of tired, ordinary, smelly shepherds. Not to those who had the most hope, but to those who needed it most.
