God forgives us ...so we have hope.

Have you ever hoped for something? The skateboard you wanted for your birthday. A new phone for Christmas.  A trip to Disney World!

Hoping can involve a lot of waiting. And that's what the prophets in the bible did. They knew God would send a king. But hundreds of years would go by before it happened.

Jesus came to live on earth, and even though he went back to heaven and doesn't live as a human on earth anymore, his presence remains with us everyday.

So we can have hope...without the waiting.  The wait is over: King Jesus is here!
上帝宽恕我们……所以我们有希望。

 你曾经希望过什么吗？你生日时想要的滑板。圣诞节时想要的新手机。去迪士尼乐园旅行！

 希望可能意味着很多等待。这就是圣经中的先知所做的。他们知道上帝会派一位国王来。但这件事要等几百年才会发生。

 耶稣来到地球上生活，即使祂回到了天堂，不再以人类的身份生活在地球上，但祂仍然每天与我们同在。

 所以我们可以有希望……无需等待。等待结束了：君王耶稣就在这里！
