Luke 2:8-12
(Matthew 6:10) Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
(Romans 8:24) For in this hope we were saved.
(Hebrews 10:23) Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.
(Isaiah 40:31) but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
(Hebrews 6:19) We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain ...
I. H -- HUMILITY
(Philippians 2:8) And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
(James 4:6) Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
(James 4:10) Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
(II Chronicles 7:14) if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
II. O -- OT HERS
(Leviticus 19:18) you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD.
(Mark 12:31) The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
(John 1:14) So the Word became human and made his home among us. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.
(Luke 2:11) For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
IV. E -- ETERNAL
(John 14:2-3) In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to pre pare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
