Welcome to Every Thought Captive. I’m Phil Steiger, pastor of Quail Lake Community Church.
Hope is a neglected virtue. We often hear a lot about faith and love, but we don’t often think about hope and what it means for the believer. In fact, the Christmas season is a wonderful time to remind ourselves of what hope means.
We do not hope in hope, we hope in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Hope for the Christian is not a vague desire that things will get better against all appearances, but that the life and light of Christ will be manifest in this world and in our lives. When Christ entered this world, hope came. Matthew 12 says that, “in his name the nations will put their hope.” We now look forward to lives of meaning and fulfillment because of what happened on the first Christmas morning. Christ came into this world to give us a glimpse of the Father and to give me a good reason to hope.
