Part2: Divine Intervention (example: the virgin birth)

Part3: Divine Confirmation (example: the shepherds and Wise Men)

Part4: The Hope of the World

Foundation Scripture: 1 Peter 1:3-9.

v3. We have hope because of the birth and resurrection of Emmanuel, God with us.
v4. Our hope is an incorruptible inheritance that will never fade away.
v5-6. Even in trial, we are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation
v7. Our faith is more precious than gold. That even in trial we will be found giving praise, honour, and glory to King Jesus.
v8. Though we have not seen Him as the disciples did, our hope brings us joy unspeakable and full of glory.

Scriptures about Jesus, the hope of the world:

Jesus is the only hope for mankind.

Hope of the world confirmed by Simeon and Ana the Prophets:

Luke 2:22-34. Simeon (the solution, divine intervention, divine confirmation, the hope of the world).
Luke 22:36. Ana(presented Jesus as the hope of the world- Jesus the redeemer of mankind)

Summary:

The entire world without Jesus has no hope.
But those who trust in Jesus as their Salvation, have everlasting Hope in Christ Jesus
That’s what Christmas is all about. Rejoicing about our blessed hope, Jesus Christ
When Jesus name is lifted up, people are drawn to him because He is true hope.
Merry Christmas!!!!!
