3 You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as warriors rejoice when dividing the plunder. – Isaiah 9:2
Christmas is so wonderful because Christmas is God’s way of enlarging the Kingdom of God. Jesus is born to call all people from all places and times to Himself. Jesus enters the world to enlarge God’s kingdom and Jesus comes to increase our joy. Joy is deep inner happiness that comes from knowing God loves us, God is with us, and God is making all things well. This inner happiness is not determined by external circumstances because it is a gift from Jesus, who fills us with God’s presence, God’s forgiveness, God’s glory and God’s life. How is Jesus increasing your joy?
Affectionately,
Pastor Ric
