The 12 Joys of Christmas: The Joy of Hope.
Have you ever waited for something you knew was coming? Like a package, or delivery? That feeling of anticipation when you are really excited? That same feeling is what I feel when I read of the coming of the Lord. Something so awesome is waiting. Waiting for those who know the Lord. The anticipation of seeing the Lord come in the clouds, and being before God at the mercy seat, takes my breath away! Its rooted in that joy that we have hope. Hope of the coming of the Lord and seeing Him in Glory is a reward beyond description for those who know Him.
Romans 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. KJV
We only have access because of the Lord, and then only by faith in Him. Look deep in your heart and ask yourself if you have trusted in Christ. No other decision will affect your eternal well being like this one. And then Christmas will never be the same for you again.
