MERRY CHRISTMAS! Happy Birthday, JESUS!



          Have you had your Joy Juice today?  MERRY CHRISTMAS DAY!

            The JOY of the season is wrapped up in the truth of that baby born in a manger over 2000 years ago.  Let’s not get so caught up in the gifts under the tree that we forget why we are celebrating today!  J-E-S-U-S; we’ve discussed the J and the E this week. Today, let’s look at the S in the center of His name.

            That S should remind us that Jesus, our good Shepherd, wants to be at the center of our lives.  In John 10:11 he said:  “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” And that’s exactly why he came…to live and die for us that we might be Saved from our Sins.

            Did you catch those two important “S” words…Saved from our Sins. The reason God sent Jesus was to pay our sin debt.  When we accept Him into our heart and life, our sins are forgiven.  The penalty for our sins were paid on that cruel cross.  That’s what we call Sacrifice…an “S” word, too!  God sacrificed His only Son, Jesus, to be crucified for us.  Talk about love!

            On this Christmas Day, let’s ask Jesus to be the center of our Christmas…and the center of our lives.  Be reminded that He is our Good Shepherd who is always willing to lead us and protect us. Shout for Joy this Christmas day because of that sacrificial love.

            Keep Jesus in the center of your Christmas by drinking the Joy Juice made especially for this season of the year. Happy Birthday, Jesus! Merry Christmas, friends!
