This Advent, Jesus Christ 'is the only hope we have for peace,' says expert on religious freedom
Fox News
Two faith leaders shared thoughts with Fox News Digital about hope during this season of Advent, especially during the first week as the countdown to Christmas has begun.
King — the president of International Christian Concern (ICC, www.persecution.org), based in Washington, D.C. — is the author of "The Last Words of the Martyrs." "God continually treats us better than we deserve by His grace." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.
He told Fox News Digital in emailed comments this week, "As Advent begins, many Christians around the world will be lighting candles beginning the countdown to Christmas. For me, those candles are lit in memory of the great star that first appeared over Israel, 2,000 years ago. It heralded the birth on Earth of the king of heaven, the God-King."
