Holy Night Series: Great Joy

Luke 2:10-12,14

In Luke 2:1–12 and verse 14, the angel proclaims good news of great joy—the birth of a Savior. This joy is not dependent on circumstances, status, or season. It is heaven’s response to God stepping into our world through Jesus, bringing hope where there was waiting and light where there was darkness.

This joy is for all people. It reaches shepherds in the fields, families in their homes, and hearts longing for peace. The joy Jesus brings is deeper than happiness; it is the assurance that God is with us, that we are seen, loved, and invited into His redemption story.

When Jesus is born, joy enters the world—and it still does today. His presence brings peace to troubled hearts, comfort to the weary, and praise to our lips. As we celebrate His birth, may we receive this joy afresh and carry it to everyone we encounter.
