And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”
Luke 2:10-11
Christmas is this week! For many it’s a favorite time of the year, a fun and joy-filled season when many of us wait with anticipation for Christmas day.
Imagine the joy the people in this Bible passage felt as the angel announced the arrival of the long-awaited Emmanuel – God with us.
What does it mean for us today to put our joy in the birth of Jesus?
This is a hard question and an important question for us because it gets to the heart of Christmas.
Spend some of these next few days before Christmas thinking and talking about this question with Jesus, friends and family.
