Joy to the World

“Joy to the World” is one of the more popular Christmas songs. It has a joyful tune and creates a sense of joy for those who sing it and for those who hear it.
Joy to the world is equally appropriate for the celebration of Christ’s birth as it is for the celebration of Easter which marks the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. He overcame sin and death and offers His victory to all who believe in Him.
Is “joy” a central part of your Christmas? When we have joy, it gives us strength to live each day, facing the challenges of that day.
