For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for
what is seen? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Hope begins his show with his regular patter: "When I landed," he says with an air of warm
congeniality, "General Clay came up to see me, shook my hand, and asked me for my autograph.
What a sneaky way to get enlistments..." All the fellows are laughing and cheering. What a terrific
change from the gray, monotonous days that generally characterize Berlin at that time.
Just as there was hope of Berlin being united, we have the hope of a savior coming to us in
Christmas. Are you living and sharing that hope?
(Romans 8:24-25
NRSV)
Christmas Day 1948. West Berlin. It's a cold and lonely city if you are an American soldier. But
all is not bleak. An American entertainer has come with a troupe of pretty girls and musicians to
do a show to raise your spirits. His name? Bob Hope.
Dear God, Jesus is my hope. Guide me in sharing that hope with others. Amen.
