Good News of Great Joy
Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 (NRSV)
What are some of your favorite things about Christmas?
Christmas Lights?
Family gatherings?
Gift giving?
Eggnog?
Cheesy Hallmark movies?
For me, my favorite part of Christmas is singing the carols, particularly Joy to the World. There’s something magical and mysterious about singing together, visiting one another, and holding the candle high in the dark. It’s about the joy that’s come into our lives, into our world. The joy that God loves us so much that he gave. The good news is that God is a joyful God and a gift-giving God. God gives the gift of … himself. And through Christ, he invites us to share in this abundant, joyful life.
