Greek mythology explains the evils of the world with the story of Pandora's box. Pandora opened the box and all of the evils of the world were let loose so all that was left in the box was hope.
I do not place my hope for today and for the world in a metaphor from the ancient world, but in a king who lives and reigns every bit as much today as he did 2000 years ago. He came into a world already filled with the darkness and decay of our own making which had only been further complicated by the lies of the tempter. No. My King came into the darkness, and wild destructive decay of a thoroughly broken world as a pale ray of light in the form baby born to a destitute itinerant family. As He grew into adulthood he listened, and witnessed, and loved humanity because His Father loves humanity. Then in the fullness of time, while we were still willfully defiant, He gave his life that light would dawn in the darkness of the world and we would all see something so good, so wonderful, we would be both in awe of it and convicted by its grace and goodness.
All give honor and praise through the Holy Spirit to Christ for God's love that Christ has entered the world. Let the darkness hear and tremble at these words, "SUNDAY'S COMING!"
