I have been rereading Ecclesiastes… what is standing out to me is the best they had at that time was to find scraps of joy and contentment in their lot. There was no such thing as hope.
And then when Jesus was born… He came to save, to heal, to give the reality of a face to our Father… and to offer hope.
Matthew 19: 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Can you imagine not even having the thought to pray?
1 Peter 1: 3 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,
Praise to God for a Living Hope!
