The Bible says it this way. "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord" (Matthew 2:10 NIV).
The lyricist of "Joy to the World" said it this way. "Joy to the world! The Lord is come!"
Today we say, "The Lord has come."
Some day we will say with even greater joy and delight, "The Lord has come back!"
"There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away" declares Revelation 21:4 (NIV).
Whether our Christmas is joyful or grievous, the Christ of Christmas past, present, and future has all things in His control.
Merry Christmas. Soli Deo Gloria.
