Joy, Hope And Peace

 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him - Romans 15:13.

  Joy            

                Jesus came to earth as Savior to bring us great joy. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord” - Luke 2:10,11. Everlasting joy will be upon their heads; they will attain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing will flee away - Isaiah 51:11.

Hope          

                Jesus came to earth as Savior to bring us great hope. He is our living hope. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead - 1 Peter 1:3. For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future - Jeremiah 29:11.

Peace

             Jesus came to earth as Savior to bring us great peace. Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men! - Luke 2:14. Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ - Romans 5:1. The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:7. In Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world - John 16:33. 

May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace during this Christmas season as we trust in Him.
