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 used wrapping paper
as the gifts were torn into and boxes which were 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 on window panes, glass doors, table tops and even the walls.
The
cheerful noise has begun to die down and the pace of things is beginning to
slow a little. 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! The gift is wrapped up and tied with a
beautiful ribbon of sacrificial love 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!
