Keep Sharing the JOY of JESUS!



          Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Christmas Day is past and the gifts have been opened.  However, don’t forget the gift that continues to give JOY every day of the year….JESUS!
           
We’ve have focused this week on Jesus by spelling out his name J-E-S-U-S. Today we look at the letter U.  "U" stands for: Understanding. 

            As many little boys and girls anxiously and excitedly awaited Santa’s arrival on Christmas Eve, many truly did not UNDERSTAND that there would be NO Christmas celebration if it were not for the baby Jesus being born over 2000 years ago. And admittedly, we adults tend to forget that many times, as well. 

            There are those who don’t believe and they are diligent in trying to take away (or at least cast doubt) on people’s understanding that Jesus is the reason we celebrate Christmas.  But even we believers can get so caught up in the busyness of life that we forget to worship Him.

            Do you UNDERSTAND what Jesus did for you and me?  He came to earth, was born in a stinky, cold, dark stable, certainly not fit for a king and lived on earth among sinful man so that He could die to pay our sin debt.  Now that is the epitome of love and sacrifice.  It’s hard to wrap our understanding around that kind of love; but may we never quit trying.  More importantly, may we never quit loving and thanking Him for Who He is!

            Even though Christmas Day is over, we still have the JOY of JESUS every day.  Keep sharing it with others along your way!
