Have you had your JOY JUICE today? The JOY of Christmas in the air!
As soon as Thanksgiving is over (and sometimes even before), our thoughts turn to Christmas. This first week of December is a good time to begin an intentional focus on the reason we celebrate this season!
It saddens my heart that many in our world today seem determined to take Christ out of Christmas—which is ridiculously absurd because He is THE reason for Christmas. Throughout the Old Testament, we find reference after reference referring to the coming Messiah.
In Isaiah 9:6, there are four names used to describe Him:
“ For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
·
Wonderful Counselor: He is
exceptional, distinguished and without compare.
He always gives the right advice!
·
Mighty God: He is all-powerful GOD!
·
Everlasting Father: He is timeless. He is God, our loving and just Heavenly Father!
·
Prince of Peace. His government is
one of justice and peace.
Merry Christmas! Let’s share the GOOD NEWS of GREAT JOY with one and all!

ReplyDeleteLet earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,

And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing....
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.
