Advent Part 3
Joy
As we journey through the third week of Advent, we focus on Joy—not seasonal happiness, but a deep, unshakable confidence rooted in the Good News of Jesus Christ. Biblical joy is not tied to circumstances, possessions, or control. It flows from knowing that God has come to us, God is at work in us, and God keeps His promises.
Joy is available to everyone (Luke 2:10), and it is activated when we draw near to God, trust His plan, wait with hope, and share what He has done. This kind of joy sustains us in hardship, strengthens us in waiting, and multiplies when it is shared with others.
