"Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King!" One of our favorite all time Christmas songs! I started thinking about that word JOY. Here is where it led me this morning:
"Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, Who for the JOY that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God" Hebrews 12:2
Could this have been the JOY that was set before Him?
". . .behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes with palm branches in their hands and crying out with a loud voice, 'Salvation belongs to our God Who sits on the throne and to the Lamb!'" Revelation 7:9-10
JOY TO THE WORLD, THE LORD IS COME!
