Hope Vindicated
The birth of Jesus is the vindication of hope. The faithful children of Abraham had been waiting for centuries for God to fulfill his promises. Of course, his promises seemed too good to be true and it had been hundreds of years since the Jewish people had returned after the exile. So, those who continued to believe the prophets seemed foolish and naive. However, as always does, he kept his word and vindicated those who loyally kept their hope in him. Followers of Jesus today find themselves in a similar period of waiting and one day our hope will be vindicated. (Scripture: Luke 1:67-80)
