Have you
had your Joy Juice today? Even though
Christmas day has passed, we can continue to bask in the JOY of Jesus!
In most of
our homes, the gifts have been unwrapped and the space under the tree is
bare. Some of our homes show signs of
much activity and the “busyness” of Christmas….bulging garbage cans from ripped
wrapping paper as the gifts were torn into; boxes which are no longer
needed. At my house there are crumbs on
the kitchen floor from little ones who enjoyed their Christmas treats… and
there are more than a few finger prints and other reminders, here and
there.
The
cheerful noise has begun to die down and the pace of things is beginning to
slow a bit. But the JOYful truth of why
Jesus came to earth never diminishes! The love that we experience because of
that baby born over 2000 years ago is truly an inexpressible gift! What a gift---wrapped in joy and tied with a
beautiful ribbon of sacrificial love. Look in John 3:16-17:
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world
to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
Let’s not ever
forget the price that was paid for each of us.
A price paid by Jesus so that eternal life can be freely ours!
May
the JOY of Christmas go with us every day of the year!
