Dec 24, 2017 · “Great joy” at Christmas tells us something profound about God and how he works in our world. God gave us a garden in the beginning to prepare us for a garden-city in the end. God made the world to remake it one day.

Imagine how frightening the shepherd’s experience would have been. They had been sitting in the dark night, perhaps with only the light of a flickering fire, when suddenly the sky lit up like noontime! Add to that the sudden appearance of the angel. It was enough to scare anyone! The shepherds sitting in darkness picture the lost human race, sittin...
Good news is only good if it is true. If I told you, “You’ve just inherited a million dollars,” and you said,“Really?” I replied, “No, I’m just kidding.” You wouldn’t rejoice. That news is worthless because it’s not true. The news that Jesus Christ is born as the Savior is nothing more than a sick joke if it is not true news. If it’s just a nice l...
The angel said that this news was not just for the shepherds, but for “all the people” (2:10). No doubt these Jewish shepherds understood that to mean all the Jewish people. But there is also no doubt that Luke would have his readers know that the good news is for Jew and Gentile alike, for any and all who will call upon the name of the Lord (Rom. ...
I read a touching Christmas story about some poor country children who were eagerly awaiting their father’s arrival from his job at a foundry in the city. Every year when he came home for Christmas, he brought with him presents and goodies to eat and a fresh Christmas tree. But this year, the dad had been laid off and there were no presents and, mo...
John Piper states, “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.” In light of this, why is joy an essential quality for believers?What is the difference between joy and happiness? How can we increase God’s joy in our lives?We are commanded to “rejoice always” (1 Thess. 5:16). Is it wrong, then, to be sad? Is depression sin? Defend your answer with Scripture.What would you say to someone who said, “If Christianity works for you, that’s great, but it’s not my thing”?Dec 23, 2019 · Yes, Christmas can amplify pain, but the truth is that the greater the pain of the human heart, the greater the sense of joy when we truly understand the good news. We have a message that we can bring to people—that Jesus Christ wants to heal their broken heart and forgive their sin.

- Isaiah. Centuries before Jesus’ entrance into the world, a prophet named Isaiah announced the Messiah’s future coming. How appropriate it is that his name means “the LORD saves.”
- Micah. A contemporary of Isaiah, Micah also offered insight into the coming of Jesus – years before Jesus’ birth. Sound familiar? Micah means, “Who is like God?”
- Gabriel. Call this one expected. And even though he’s not a man, but rather an angel, how could we ignore his life-altering words? Hello, Gabriel.
- Elizabeth. She’s another expected list-maker: Elizabeth. This woman grew excited about Jesus. She knew how to call out blessings. And that she did.
Dec 26, 2021 · The reason the shepherds are to have “joy” is because a “Savior” has been born. In other words, the joy of Christmas is bound up with the notion that God has come to save us. Christmas is not...
