Hope, Peace, and Change You Can Believe In

So earlier today it was announced that our President, Mr. Barrack Obama, has won the Nobel Peace Prize. The one problem I have with him winning is that he hasn’t really done anything to deserve winning a prize like this. From the news articles I have read, he was given this article for the promise of hope that he has given to the world. It is impossible to know at this point what Obama will do over the rest of his Presidency. It is possible that at some point he may deserve to win this prize, but at this point I do not think that he does.
However, there is someone who has promised hope, peace, and change. This person is Jesus Christ. I want to take this opportunity, while people are talking about hope, peace, and change to share a few verses them.
Romans 15:4
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
There are many other places in the Bible that promise us hope, peace, and change, these promises are not empty like those of a politician. They are given by God himself. I’d say that is hope, peace and change we CAN believe in.

I was a surprised at the announcement. It is so nice that hope, peace, and change can be positive and guaranteed through Christ. So encouraging!
