We are only 5 days away from what is easily the most wonderful day of the entire calendar: the day we celebrate the coming of the Christ child. The ultimate gift to humanity. The gift that endures, the gift that is unending. Throughout this advent season we have looked at how the gift of the Christ Child brings unending Hope, Faith, Love, and Peace. I pray you have experienced each of those gifts of the Christ child this Advent season.
This morning we are looking at one more gift that the Christ child has for us. A gift that an angel announced to the shepherds in Luke 2:10 saying, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.’ The gift of unending Joy.
I think there is something significant about the fact that we reach this specific gift at a time in our Christmas season when we are nearing the end, with the demands and needs of the season weighing heavily upon us. If we are honest with ourselves, we might even admit that we are depleted of this gift of joy completely at this point in the season. But that is what is so incredible about our Savior: He was born into this weary world at the God ordained time to be our joy incarnate! Today the invitation for us is to rise above our circumstances and burdens, and to see with fresh eyes the unending joy that is experienced when we encounter the Christ child. #TheGiftoftheChristChild #Advent2020
