Resurrected Hope

Can a man have faith without hope?

Many people lose hope long before they lose their faith. The loss of hope is not hinged on one event but from many events that occur in their lives. Joseph was a young shepherd boy who heard the angels and saw the baby the night Jesus was born, but a series of events destroyed his hope for the Messiah. The only hope he would have left was to be introduced to the resurrected Savior.
