Have you
had your Joy Juice today? If not, you’ve
got to taste it! It’s extra sweet
because this is the week of Christmas!
Since Jesus
is the reason we celebrate Christmas, don’t you think it's fitting for
us to really focus on Him this week?
Let’s spell out His name and talk about things that remind us of the
real Christmas by using every letter in His name: J E S U S.
The first
letter is J. How appropriate that Jesus
and JOY begin with the same letter.
Let’s never forget that we would have no Christmas JOY if it were not
for the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Joseph also begins with the letter J.
Joseph had to be a very special man to be selected to be Jesus’ earthly
daddy. He was a direct descendant from David and a gracious
man who kept the laws and was well respected.
That’s
Jesus, Joy and Joseph that begin with the letter J. Can you think of another? What about John…Jesus’ forerunner. In
John 3:30, he speaks
of fulfillment, “This is my joy and it is complete. He must
increase while I must decrease” John the
Baptist was pointing the way to true joy.
While still in his mother’s womb, John began his
prophecy by Jumping with
JOY (Luke 1:41,44) because he knew the Messiah was
present. In this Christmas season our
hearts too should leap with joy at the thought of the baby in Bethlehem's
manger.
I'm praying that your heart is so full of Jesus that you are leaping with joy.
