Good morning, Father.<\/p>\n

There are several Christmas songs on the radio that sing about joy. So, I have to ponder, what is joy?<\/em> The world’s view of joy is that of an emotion, produced by external circumstances. Biblical joy is produced internally by the Holy Spirit. It is a sure knowledge of truth.<\/p>\n

The JOY of Christmas is JESUS<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jesus Christ is . . .<\/em><\/h4>\n

\u00a0The message of all that God has to say to us<\/em>
\n The fullness of all that God has to give us<\/em>
\n The essence of all that God wants us to be.<\/em><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jesus, the word of God incarnated<\/em>
\n The image of God revealed<\/em>
\n The fullness of God imparted<\/em>
\n The glory of God reflected<\/em>
\n The grace of God extended<\/em>
\n The power of God demonstrated<\/em>
\n The heart of God expressed<\/em>
\n The love of God manifested<\/em>
\n The salvation of God provided<\/em><\/h4>\n

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13)<\/p>\n

In the power of Jesus’ name, Amen.<\/p>\n
