We all live hopeful because all of us long for change. Change in the violence we see around the world, change in our communities, change in the strife in our families, change in our child’s waywardness, change in our own struggles.

In fact, you cannot live without hope. The Harvard School of medicine, "Hope is an essential component of our well-being…It is an essential factor for developing both maturity and resilience."

Not only is hope a vital piece to our humanity BUT we all hope in something. The good news from Luke 2 is that Jesus brings hope to those who are hopeful.
