Hope

 "Look to my coming on the first light of the fifth day, at dawn look to the east."
                                  -Gandalf, the Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers




This is by far my favorite moment in the Lord of the Rings trilogy  
It seems all hope is lost
Evil it appears has won
Helms Deep is surrounded and our heroes our heavily outnumbered: 

























I've watched this many times, and I still get chills when I see Gandalf and his army charge down the hill.  I am reminded of the amazing truth that Jesus is coming back with an army to rescue those who belong to him. Let us never lose hope!  Like Aragorn, let us be bold and face the darkness knowing we will be rescued!
