Joy. Christmas is generally a time when we focus on the birth of the King, the promised Messiah, preceded by supernatural conception and birth in a manger. Perhaps if we close our eyes and imagine that we travel back in time to the birth of our Savior, maybe, just maybe we will hear all of creation singing, “Joy to the world, the Lord is come...”. Okay, so maybe all of creation didn’t actually sing, however, I am pretty sure there was joy to be found in the presence of baby Jesus. You see, He was on a mission.
