Pastor Vicki Tekwani talked about “hope” this Christmas Eve
In Isaiah nine, God made promises while His people did grieve
God said that their exile and suffering would one day cease
Thanks to the Saviour, also known as the Prince of Peace
Vicki then ran through three questions that we should ponder
“What are my eyes fixed on - earth or Jesus?” he did wonder
Next up was “Where am I headed - my way or God’s way?”
But man’s way leads to death, Proverbs fourteen does say
“What does my future look like?” is not just a personal wish
Per Isaiah nine, there will be no gloom for those in anguish
For we are promised that contempt will be turned to glory
And darkness into great light in that same chapter we see
The work of Jesus Christ starts with turning darkness to light
Light represents salvation, hope, and a path through the night
Per John eight, Jesus is the light of the world and its strife
Put another way, He gives us the gift and light of eternal life
Jesus turns sorrow into joy, not based on human emotion
That is one reason He should be the centre of our devotion
We also have hope because Jesus turns conflict into peace
And with Him, we have an inner peace that does not cease
This will all be fulfilled through and by Jesus and his kingdom
The eternal riches he offers are superior to any earthly income
God’s Son is called Wonderful Counselor and Mighty God too
Without His presence, we really have no hope to look forward to
There will be unending peace under King Jesus, per Isaiah nine
Remember Jesus’ prayerful words “your will be done, not mine”
God’s will embodies justice and righteousness, making things right
His Kingdom will stand the test of time, as Proverbs does write
It is important to remember that we always have access to God
His love for us has been proven many times, it is not a facade
And if we continue to pray, mediate, proclaim, and fellowship
We will bring light to the world, as we should being His heirship
