Title: The joy of Christmas.

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Matthew 1:21 KJV

Devotion: Joy to the world for God visited the earth in human body. In gospel according to Saint John 1:1we know that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" and in vs 14 this same WORD was made flesh to dwell amongst us.

  Why is there joy to the world with the birth of Christ? In the world today there are all forms of vice, imaginable and unimaginable such as human slaughter like ram, mass poisoning, wickedness etc. Nations rise against another, great exploitation of weaker states by stronger states and all forms of deceit. If human race should continue this way everyone will perish physically and spiritually.

 But with Jesus there is hope that human race will be purged of sinful nature and Jesus being our redeemer will redeem us to Himself. He will save us from amargedon. Jesus' birth gives us hope for a better tomorrow and eternity. All we need to do is give our lives to Jesus and live a life of total obedience. 

 Do you want to experience this joy? Give your life to Christ, He's anxiously waiting at the door of your heart. (Rev 3:20). 

Dearly beloved, it's Christmas season share this Joy with someone, tell him/her of Christ and invite him/her to Jesus and your Joy will know no measure. Halleluyah. 

Remember to share your food with your neighbours especially the poor. Merry Christmas to you all.
