The only constant in life is that we ought to expect the unexpected. Our hope should not be different.  The beauty of an unexpected hope is that unconditional grace is the outcome. This is certainly the case for Jesus’ birth. The savior of the world was born in an unexpected way and in an unexpected place and the unexpected nature of this immeasurable gift is that redemption of the world comes unconditionally. We do no earn our salvation, we could not have made it happen ourselves, the birth of Christ is a gift. Hope is on the way and we ought to be ready to be surprised.

Primary Scripture ~ Matthew 1:18-25
