Emmanuel
There is ALWAYS Hope, because God is with Us! In the prophetic words from both Isaiah and Matthew were not about some hope that was far off in the distance. It was a hope that was near. It was a hope that was real, and tangible, like a baby about to be born. The Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is that God loved the world so much that He sent His son to come and reconcile, redeem, and restore.
