Good Tidings of Great Joy

DAY 9 — Good Tidings of Great Joy

Scripture: “…good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” — Luke 2:10 (KJV)

Christmas embodies a message of joy—great joy. This joy is not fleeting happiness or momentary excitement; rather, it is a deep and lasting joy rooted in God’s incredible salvation. The angel’s proclamation declared that this joy is for all people. Christ did not come for a select few; He came for the entire world.

True joy is not found in gifts, gatherings, or holiday traditions alone. It is found in knowing Jesus personally. His presence brings peace, His grace offers forgiveness, and His love provides a satisfaction that the world cannot replicate. As you celebrate this season, focus on the source of your lasting joy—your Savior.

During the Christmas season, let your heart return to the source of lasting joy—your Savior. This journey is not just about celebration, but about deepening your relationship with Him and experiencing the joy that comes from knowing and walking with Him.
