Praise the Lord Beloved!!! 😀
I hope you had a great weekend and super Sunday. 😀
Beloved, as you know Christmas is just seven days away, and just about everywhere I went over the weekend joy was in the air. I saw many children laughing and playing in the stores and on their best behavior at restaurants.
Luke 2:10 says: “I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.” But you know, joy was not in the equation for Adam and Eve after they disobeyed God. God expelled them from their garden home to prevent something worse from happening. You see, if they had eaten from the tree of life after eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they would have lived forever in their misery.
Life outside the garden was not easy for Adam and Eve. They had to work hard for their food. The reality of death was everywhere, has animals preyed on one another. Even worse, the couple’s firstborn son murdered his younger brother. What could be worse? Beloved, sin had penetrated their lives, and the couple couldn’t stop the death of joy.
But, God had a plan to reincarnate joy. Sure, joy was lost in the Garden when death came, but joy returned through birth and I’m talking about the birth of God’s very own Son. Luke 2:10 say: “I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people”.
Beloved, Jesus grew up to heal the sick, give sight to the blind, and raise the dead. But this was just a taste of things to come. God entered our world, experienced our sorrow, and conquered death, giving us hope that He will keep His promise to end pain, and eliminate sorrow and death.
No wonder Christmas is the season of joy!!!
“Jesus Is the Reason for The Season.”
Have a Great Week Everyone. 😀
