Opening Scripture

Matthew 12:21 (NIV)
"In his name the nations will put their hope."
Study
Christ came not only to redeem Israel but to bring hope to all nations. In Matthew 12:21, we see the prophecy that the nations would place their hope in the name of Jesus. This Advent, we remember that the message of hope is not limited to any one people or nation; it is a universal hope that extends to all.
As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ, we are reminded that our hope in Christ is not just personal but global. We are called to share this hope with the world and to pray for all nations to experience the hope that Christ brings.
Reflection Questions
- How does it affect you to know that Christ’s hope is for the nations?
- What can you do to share the hope of Christ with others outside your immediate circle?
- How can you support global missions and the spread of hope through Christ?
Pray for the nations of the world to experience the hope of Christ. Ask God to lead you in ways you can contribute to the global mission of spreading His hope.
Share Your Thoughts
Reflect on how you can be a vessel of hope for others, both near and far. How can you be a witness to the nations this Advent?
