JESUS our HOPE

 

Luke 2:7

King James Version

7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, 

and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, 

and laid him in a manger; 

because there was no room for them in the inn.


What makes JESUS our hope?

We look to the prophecies.

We look to His heritage.

We look to His ministry.

And we'll know.

Listen to what the Bible says:

Isaiah 7:14

King James Version

14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; 

Behold, 

a virgin shall conceive,

and bear a son, 

and shall call his name Immanuel.


Isaiah 9:6-7

King James Version

6 For unto us a child is born, 

unto us a son is given: 

and the government shall be upon his shoulder: 

and his name shall be called Wonderful, 

Counsellor, 

The mighty God, 

The everlasting Father, 

The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace 

there shall be no end, 

upon the throne of David, 

and upon his kingdom, 

to order it, and to establish it with judgment 

and with justice from henceforth even for ever. 

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.


Isaiah 42:2-3

King James Version

2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, 

nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

3 A bruised reed shall he not break, 

and the smoking flax shall he not quench: 

he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.


Isaiah 53:1-8

King James Version

53 Who hath believed our report? 

and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, 

and as a root out of a dry ground: 

he hath no form nor comeliness; 

and when we shall see him, 

there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3 He is despised and rejected of men; 

a man of sorrows, 

and acquainted with grief: 

and we hid as it were our faces from him; 

he was despised, 

and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, 

and carried our sorrows: 

yet we did esteem him stricken, 

smitten of God, and afflicted.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, 

he was bruised for our iniquities: 

the chastisement of our peace was upon him; 

and with his stripes we are healed.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; 

we have turned every one to his own way; 

and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed, 

and he was afflicted, 

yet he opened not his mouth: 

he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, 

and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, 

so he openeth not his mouth.

8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: 

and who shall declare his generation? 

for he was cut off out of the land of the living: 

for the transgression of my people was he stricken.


Jeremiah 23:5

King James Version

5 Behold, 

the days come, 

saith the Lord, 

that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, 

and a King shall reign and prosper, 

and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.


Micah 5:2

King James Version

2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, 

though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, 

yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me

that is to be ruler in Israel; 

whose goings forth have been from of old, 

from everlasting.


Zechariah 9:9

King James Version

9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; 

shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: 

behold, 

thy King cometh unto thee: 

he is just, and having salvation; 

lowly, and riding upon an ass, 

and upon a colt the foal of an ass.


Malachi 3:1

King James Version

3 Behold, I will send my messenger, 

and he shall prepare the way before me: 

and the Lord, whom ye seek, 

shall suddenly come to his temple, 

even the messenger of the covenant, 

whom ye delight in: 

behold, 

he shall come, 

saith the Lord of hosts.


Matthew 1:20-21

King James Version

20 But while he thought on these things, 

behold, 

the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, 

saying, 

Joseph, thou son of David, 

fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: 

for that which is conceived in her 

is of the Holy Ghost.

21 And she shall bring forth a son, 

and thou shalt call his name Jesus: 

for he shall save his people from their sins.


Matthew 3:17

King James Version

17 And lo a voice from heaven, 

saying, 

This is my beloved Son, 

in whom I am well pleased.


Matthew 25:31-32

King James Version

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, 

and all the holy angels with him, 

then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: 

and he shall separate them one from another, 

as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:


Mark 10:45

King James Version

45 For even the Son of man came 

not to be ministered unto, 

but to minister, 

and to give his life a ransom for many.


Luke 1:33

King James Version

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; 

and of his kingdom there shall be no end.


Luke 1:35

King James Version

35 And the angel answered and said unto her, 

The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, 

and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: 

therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee 

shall be called the Son of God.


Luke 2:9-14

King James Version

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, 

and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: 

and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, 

Fear not: for, behold, 

I bring you good tidings of great joy, 

which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day 

in the city of David a Saviour, 

which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; 

Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, 

lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel 

a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, 

and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, 

and on earth peace, good will toward men.


Luke 5:32

King James Version

32 I came not to call the righteous, 

but sinners to repentance.

and to save that which was lost.

King James Version

14 And the Word was made flesh, 

and dwelt among us, 

(and we beheld his glory, 

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) 

full of grace and truth.


John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.


John 16:33

King James Version

33 These things I have spoken unto you, 

that in me ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation: 

but be of good cheer; 

I have overcome the world.


Acts 4:12

for there is none other name under heaven 

given among men, 

whereby we must be saved.

and that he rose again the third day 

according to the scriptures:

and took upon him the form of a servant, 

and was made in the likeness of men:

he humbled himself, 

and became obedient unto death,

 even the death of the cross.

and given him a name which is above every name:

and things under the earth;

to the glory of God the Father.

that are in heaven, 

and that are in earth, 

visible and invisible, 

whether they be thrones, or dominions,

all things were created by him, 

and for him:


Hebrews 2:14

King James Version

14 Forasmuch then as the children 

are partakers of flesh and blood, 

he also himself likewise took part of the same; 

that through death he might destroy him 

that had the power of death, 

that is, the devil;

which cannot be touched 

with the feeling of our infirmities; 

but was in all points tempted like as we are, 

yet without sin.

Revelation 1:7

7 Behold, 

he cometh with clouds; 

and every eye shall see him, 

and they also which pierced him: 

and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. 

Even so, Amen.


Revelation 19:11-16

King James Version

11 And I saw heaven opened, 

and behold a white horse; 

and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, 

and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, 

and on his head were many crowns; 

and he had a name written, 

that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: 

and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven 

followed him upon white horses, 

clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, 

that with it he should smite the nations: 

and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: 

and he treadeth the winepress 

of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture 

and on his thigh a name written, 

King Of Kings, 

And Lord Of Lords.


Revelation 22:3-5

King James Version

3 And there shall be no more curse: 

but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; 

and his servants shall serve him:

4 And they shall see his face; 

and his name shall be in their foreheads.

5 And there shall be no night there; 

and they need no candle, 

neither light of the sun; 

for the Lord God giveth them light: 

and they shall reign for ever and ever.


The whole Bible is JESUS.

Listen to how apostle John ended his gospel:

John 21:25

King James Version

25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, 

the which, if they should be written every one, 

I suppose that even the world itself 

could not contain the books that should be written. 

Amen.
