Advent celebrates the incredible joy that Jesus brings into the world. This joy is not based on temporary circumstances but on the enduring truth of who He is and what He has done. The angels declared "good news of great joy" at His birth because Jesus is the source of lasting joy for all people. Jesus' joy sustains us in every season, even in trials. It is a gift rooted in our relationship with Him, the promise of salvation, and the hope of eternal life. This Advent, we are reminded that true joy comes from Christ and is meant to be shared with the world.
