Those who do not know the Lord Jesus as their Lord and Savior are <em data-start=\"574\" data-end=\"606\">\u201cwithout hope and without God\u201d<\/em> (Eph. 2:12). But to know the Lord Jesus is to know the God of hope, who is able to <em data-start=\"690\" data-end=\"799\">\u201cfill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit\u201d<\/em> (Rom. 15:13).<\/p><p data-start=\"815\" data-end=\"1480\">About 700 years before the birth of Christ, the prophet Isaiah spoke about the coming Messiah. He said, <em data-start=\"919\" data-end=\"1049\">\u201cTherefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.\u201d<\/em> In Matthew 1:23, we read this verse again in connection with our Lord\u2019s birth. <em data-start=\"1129\" data-end=\"1139\">Immanuel<\/em> means \u201cGod with us.\u201d Mankind has been separated from this God of hope because sin came into the world through one man\u2019s transgression. But the Son of God came into the world, not to condemn it, but that through Him we might be saved (John 3:16\u201317). The God of hope entered the world to provide hope. Jesus Christ <em data-start=\"1453\" data-end=\"1457\">is<\/em> our hope (1 Tim. 1:1).<\/p><p data-start=\"1482\" data-end=\"2055\">He suffered and died upon the Cross <em data-start=\"1518\" data-end=\"1591\">\u201conce for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God\u201d<\/em> (1 Peter 3:18). The death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus have brought us into what Peter calls a <em data-start=\"1702\" data-end=\"1717\">\u201cliving hope\u201d<\/em> (1 Pet. 1:3), and this hope is now anchored for us in Heaven, as we read in Hebrews 6:19\u201320: <em data-start=\"1811\" data-end=\"2055\">\u201cThis hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the Forerunner has entered for us\u2014even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.\u201d<\/em><\/p><p data-start=\"2057\" data-end=\"2476\"><strong>Ankerpunt voor vandaag:<\/strong><br \/>When we find it hard to hope, the psalmist would say to us, <em data-start=\"2117\" data-end=\"2264\">\u201cWhy are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance\u201d<\/em> (Psalm 42:5). When the Lord Jesus came into this world, went to the Cross, suffered, and died, He was declaring, <em data-start=\"2378\" data-end=\"2395\">\u201cHope is here.\u201d<\/em> And He has said to those who follow Him, <em data-start=\"2437\" data-end=\"2461\">\u201cI am with you always\u201d<\/em> (Matt. 28:20).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Sign Of Hope Therefore, the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.
