The true meaning of Christmas is receiving and sharing the joy that comes from God’s good news. The angel’s proclamation of “good news of great joy” reminds us that joy is a spiritual force that transforms lives. We must cast out fear, bitterness, and doubt to embrace this joy, allowing Jesus to be our guiding light. Only then can we share His joy with others.
The art of sharing joy starts with preparing our hearts—cleansing them of resentment, embracing God’s word, doing good, persisting with kindness, and giving generously. This Christmas, let Jesus fill your life with His joy so you can spread His light and hope to a world in need.

True joy comes from embracing all of God’s truth, not just parts of it. Just like a cookie requires every ingredient to taste right, your life needs the fullness of God’s Word to experience real joy. The angel’s announcement in Luke 2 of “good news of great joy” centers on Jesus, the Savior who brings hope and peace.
You’re invited to “make the bake” by living out the complete recipe of God’s design—love, joy, peace, and faithfulness—found in His Word. Don’t settle for shortcuts or substitutes. By receiving Jesus and letting Him stay in your heart, you can experience lasting joy and peace this Christmas and every day
