Read 2 Corinthians 9:15 .
The first week of Advent is about Hope. Nothing gives us hope like Jesus. Paul tells us the gift of Jesus to the world is indescribable. There are some wonderful things in life that are hard to explain. How do we express the depth of love we have for our children and grandchildren? Words fall short and seem shallow in comparison to the deep love we have for them. There are no words in any language that can properly express the greatness of this gift of Jesus to the world. It is greater and more glorious than our minds can comprehend. Like the shepherds who were in awe of the angels and their amazing message that today in the city of David there has been born for you a savior, who is Christ the Lord. We cannot comprehend the glory of God’s greatest gift of salvation. Jesus is our hope.

Prayer by Martin Luther
Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child,
Make thee a bed, soft, undefiled,
Within my heart, that it may be
A quiet chamber kept for Thee.
My heart for very joy doth leap,
My lips no more can silence keep,
I too must sing, with joyful tongue,
That sweetest ancient cradle song,
Glory to God in highest heaven,
Who unto man His Son hath given
While angels sing with pious mirth.
A glad new year to all the earth.
