Hope Of Christmas (Pack Of 25), The

The Hope of Christmas Christmas. For many, the word brings thoughts of fun with friends and family and the enjoyment of giving and receiving gifts. For them, as the song says, ?It?s the most wonderful time of the year!? But for others, Christmas is a painful reminder of broken relationships, lost loved ones, or financial hardships, any of which make the season the most difficult time of the year.Whatever feelings we have this Christmas, the Bible explains that there is good news that can give us hope and joy no matter what our Christmas season is like. But before we can benefit by this good news, we must first understand the ?bad news.? The Bad News: We are all separated from GodGod did not create us like robots to automatically love and mechanically obey him. The first man and woman chose to disobey God and to go their own willful way. Each of us since then has been born sinful and disobedient towards God. All this results in spiritual separation from him.The Bible says??All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.? Romans 3:23?The wages of sin is death.? Romans 6:23People have tried many ways to bridge this separation between themselves and God.The Bible says??There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.? Proverbs 14:12
