joy to the world



Joy to the world
The Lord has come
Let earth receive her King…

That is a song we hear and sing an cherish at Christmas time.  Already this year I have been places where it has been sung.  I have heard it played on the radio, and I have even been programs, concerts and more where this song was contorted, in a good way, with sweet sound and rhythms.

But the song isn’t just for sound or cool words.  It points us to Jesus who is real joy and life and the meaning of Christmas.  Think for a few minutes today about this truth.

John 1:14  NASB
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

He is the gift of heaven, sent from the Father, to reveal glory, real glory that only can come from God.

Hebrews 1:1-4  NASB
God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, 2 in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. 3 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.

The son is the exact representation of the Father.  Jesus is the mirror image of God.  Even Jesus said if you have seen the father you have seen the son and vice versa.  This is a big deal.

We have been given the son of God to save the world and guide us the Father.  This is joy.  This is life.  This is Jesus is the giving of joy and life.

Do you hear it now?  Merry Christmas

Joy to the world
The Savior reigns…
Let earth receive her king…
