Have you had your Joy Juice today? Please drink it immediately so that you will
be focusing on the true meaning of Christmas….JESUS.
We talked
yesterday about spelling out our Savior’s name as we intentionally concentrate
on the REASON we are celebrating. Like
the name of Jesus, several other words begin with J that remind us of Christmas
truth. JOY in Jesus’ birth, JOSEPH…Jesus’
earthly father and John…the forerunner to Jesus.
Today let’s
look at the "E" in JESUS. E could
represent Emmanuel…another name for our Savior. Matthew 1:23 tells us: "Behold
the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His
name, "Emmanuel," which translated means, "God with us."
God IS with
us! That should be such an Encouragement
to all of us…which just happens to be another “E” word! Because of Emmanuel’s birth, we have
hope! We can be encouraged that no
matter what is happening in this world right now, no matter what circumstances
we find ourselves in, because of Jesus’ birth, life, death and resurrection we
can have Eternal life.
This Christmas week, my prayer is that you
will feel God’s arms of EXTRAVAGANT love wrapped tightly around you, reminding
you of the reason He sent Jesus. May you
be filled a joyful EXCITEMENT as you curl up close to Him and ENJOY His
Christmas hugs.
Feel God’s arms of
extravagant love wrapped around you as you excitedly enjoy the celebration of
Emmanuel’s birth!
