A Thrill of Hope - Part 1: "A Weary World Rejoices"

How many of you could use a dose of HOPE these days?
I'm not talking about... “I HOPE the Blue Jays sign Bo"... "I HOPE I get a Christmas bonus this year"... “I HOPE I get into the university I want".
That's how the world uses that word.

During this season, despite it being statistically more prone to stress, depression and loneliness, we as Christ followers have reason for toboggans full of hope. A kind of hope that is closer to this definition: "Waiting for a promise that will absolutely come through."

Whether you relate more to the Christmas enthusiasm of Buddy the Elf, or more of a "Bah, humbug" Scrooge, we all need a reminder...
We all need "A THRILL of Hope"! And may this "Weary World Rejoice" as a result.
