This devotional reading plan invites you to walk through the depths of grief and hope alongside the biblical story and the hauntingly honest art of Rembrandt. Through the lens of his personal losses—including two daughters (both named Cornelia) and a son (unnamed) who died in infancy, and the complicated joy of a third daughter Cornelia, who survived into adulthood—we explore how faith, scripture, and creativity can speak into our sorrow. Let Rembrandt’s journey and the truth of God’s Word guide you through lament, healing, and the quiet strength of enduring love.

Advent invites us to remember both Jesus’ first coming and to live expectantly for His return. Biblical hope is rooted not in circumstances but in the unchanging promises of God. Let's examine where our hope is fixed, to eliminate hopelessness by focusing our eyes on Jesus, and to live differently because we trust the One who is coming again. Christ is our anchor, our expectation, and the object of our hope – what a beautiful reminder of why we celebrate his birth.

May this journey renew in you the conviction that the Gospel not only saves but also restores everything sin has broken — reaching every sphere of life and bringing all of creation under the lordship of Christ.

We hold on to the promise that “the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” (Hab 2:14).

In this 6-day devotional, James Hamilton guides readers through Scripture and enables them to pause and treasure God’s glory.

You put your hope in Christ, and instead of feeling blessed, you feel sucker-punched. You wonder if you’ve done something wrong, or worse, been duped. Hope seems slippery. But what if the hope Christ offers isn’t a flimsy shred but a certainty you can count on, even when you feel disappointed? This plan, based on stories from the book “Remarkable Hope,” tells how Jesus revived hope for people in the gospels. And He’ll do the same for you today.
