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!
