Joy to the world! The Lord is come:
Let earth receive her king.
Let every heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing.
There is joy in knowing that we are loved and treasured by our Heavenly Father. In spite of human indifference and rebellion towards our Creator, God has never given up on his restorations plans for his creation – including us humans who have been created in the image of God.
Over thousands of years, God promised a Deliverer from the curse of sin, a descendant of Abraham who would bring blessing to the nations, a son of David who would establish an everlasting kingdom, the Messiah through whom God would redeem the world. The Lord’s ancient promises are – and will be – fulfilled in Jesus.
At the birth of his Infant Majesty, God’s holy angels sang for joy in heaven; and people rejoiced here on earth. As we remember Jesus’ birth, we celebrate the love of God for us in sending his Son to save us and make us his forever.
Oh! May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope! (Romans 15:13 MSG)
