    2. Many of us are broken and feel unable to hope anymore
    3. Hope that is misplaced leads to disappointment
      1. There are things that we hope for that we are not encouraged to hope for in scripture
      2. The rich young ruler put his hope on his own ability to follow the law
      3. Scripture might be warning us not to put our hope in certain places we usually do
      4. Our ability to somehow hope again isn’t going to be developed from within

        2. We likewise might have a belief in our own abilities that isn’t realistic
        3. If we don’t know where we have inabilities, God will be happy to show us
        4. Hope that’s placed in Christ is hope that doesn’t disappoint

            2. God will always send deliverance to those who ask for it, that’s what Christmas is all about
