What Is Illuminated Gospel?

“How does this reveal Jesus, and how does it glorify Him?”

Through daily devotionals, Bible verse explanations, Christian mindset resources, and parenting tools, we help you move from vague belief to confident, Scripture-rooted faith – in your heart, your home, and your habits.

Broken Dreams

Scripture Reading — Luke 1:5-7

The Christmas story begins with broken dreams. Elizabeth and Zechariah had prayed fervently to have a child (see Luke 1:13), but God had not answered in the way they had hoped or expected. And being childless was not only personally disappointing; it also carried a social stigma in their culture. Now that they had grown old, Zechariah and Elizabeth had likely given up on their dream of ever having a child.

Many of us come to Christmas with disappointments too. Our family life has turned out differently than we had hoped. We hold a job that provides little more than drudgery from day to day. We look around at our culture and lament the loss of important values and safety that we thought we could take for granted. We are confused and wonder if our prayers are even heard.

But trying to do everything right, as Zechariah and Elizabeth did, does not mean our dreams will be fulfilled. The longing we sense here reflects a deeper longing for a relationship with God that was lost because of human sin.

What’s more, if we have waited a long time, that doesn’t mean God is not at work. God knew Zechariah and Elizabeth’s situation. He knows the human condition. God knows each of our situations and our disappointments as well. At Christmas we can see how God works to restore his people—and that includes me and you!

Father, you know our hopes and dreams. Help us to trust that you are at work even in our long seasons of disappointment and waiting. Amen.
