This Christmas, you are probably
hoping that life will get better. We are hoping that life will look differently
next year, even if we’re not sure how. We realize that no one person or group holds a solution, but we’re expecting something different, even if we’re not sure how that is going to work out. Words like hope, peace, and love have a new meaning this year, don’t they? We’re waiting to have hope, peace, and love in our lives, in our communities, and in our world, even if we’re not sure how it will all work out. And just like thousands of years ago, Jesus is the one who came to bring hope, peace, and love to our lives then – and now. Jesus taught
us how to find hope, bring peace,
and initiate love even when our
circumstances are less than ideal.
This month in Exit 83 we want students to hear about what hope, peace, and love in our lives can look like. We hope that your student is challenged
in their relationship with God as they see how placing hope in stuff and
in circumstances often leads to
disappointment. Learning to place our hope in God brings real satisfaction. We hope that they can be peacemakers this holiday season and gain a desire to experience love in action.
