Have you had
your JOY JUICE today? Hurry and drink it
as you ponder the reason for our JOY during this Christmas season.
We
frequently hear “Jesus is the reason for the season.” But are we living like we
really believe that? Christmas Day is
one week away…and I can just imagine that MANY of us are pretty overwhelmed
with ALL that we still have on our list of “things to do”. We are hurrying here and scurrying there;
rushing to this party and that appointment.
We in high gear trying our best to get everything accomplished. Some of
us are losing our Christmas spirit because we are simply over-extended and
exhausted.
Yesterday
we talked about how the shepherds received the “good news of great joy” that
Jesus had been born. And speaking of
“hurrying”, that’s exactly what the shepherds did! But they hurried toward what was important. Luke 2:16-18 tells us---So they hurried off and found
Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen
him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and
all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
The
shepherds HURRIED to see Jesus! We
should follow their lead. Let’s hurry toward
GENUINE Christmas joy. And do what the
shepherds did…..spread the Good News about Jesus!
Think of
the example you are setting this Christmas season. Are you excited over the birth of Jesus? Do others learn about Him because of your
testimony? If Jesus is first on your
Christmas list, then you will definitely be bubbling forth with JOY…and amazing
others with the “good news”!
Drink your Christmas Joy
Juice hurriedly so that you will be prepared to share with anyone who God sends
your way today!
