Joy to the World
Luke
2:9-11
And
an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around
them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear
not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the
people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is
Christ the Lord.”
The
coming of Jesus is good news. It is not just news & it is not bad news. It
is good news.
Raise
the Roof & Remove the Walls is about receiving good news because Jesus has
come.
The
coming of Jesus is great joy. It is not just happiness, it is joy. Joy is not
based on happenings; joy is a sense of exceeding gladness & a restful
delight. It comes through having Jesus as your Savior & Lord & the Holy
Spirit indwelling you & forming joy in your life.
Raise
the Roof & Remove the Walls is about experiencing the great joy of having a
love relationship with Jesus.
Jesus
came as the Savior. He came to save all people from the penalty & power
& guilt & shame of sin.
Raise
the Roof & Remove the Walls is about knowing Jesus as the Savior of your
life.
Jesus
came as the Lord. He is to be the sole ruling authority of our lives. Our lives
are to be about doing His will, not our will & we are to be fully
surrendered to His Lordship over every area of our lives.
Raise
the Roof & Remove the Walls is about Jesus being the Lord, the sole ruling
authority, of our lives.
As
we celebrate Christmas this year may you experience the good news & great
joy of Jesus being your Savior & Lord. May we celebrate that it is
CHRISTmas.
Merry Christmas!
Raise the Roof &
Remove the Walls,
Joe
