Hope – Day 2<\/h2>\n

It was thousands of years between the first prophecy of the Messiah in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:15) and when Isaiah prophesied about Him to the people of Israel. It was another 700 years after <\/i>Isaiah\u2019s prophecy until Jesus arrived. We\u2019re talking about thousands of years of hard life for Israel. Slavery, oppression, war, division, brokenness – the impact of living with sin – day after day, year after year. For thousands<\/i> of years. Yet, throughout all this, there was something greater. Something that kept them going day after day, year after year. Hope<\/i>. Yes, hope that one day, the Messiah will come and deliver them from their bondage and set them free. That hope was realized when Jesus came – although many didn\u2019t recognize Him. But to those who do, we can finally rest in Him, Jesus Christ, the Messiah.<\/p>\n

Prayer<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Father God, thank You for loving us so much that You sent Jesus to save us. Thank You for not leaving us as orphans on this earth but making a way for us to be right with You. We are because of what Jesus did! Praise the Lord!<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

Call to Action<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While Jesus has come, many who do not know Him. Take a moment right now to pray for someone you know who doesn\u2019t know Jesus. Ask God to open their heart; then, don\u2019t be afraid to share the hope of Jesus with them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
