Joy to the World!

Body
And the angel said, “Behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day a Savior, who is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:1011). Rejoicing and worship were spontaneous responses of the shepherds who first heard the news of Jesus’birth. And deep delight, elation, and joy arise in the hearts of Christians every time we ponder the great gift of God’s son. We were created to praise God.
