Joy

S1 E4: Joy to the world! The Lord is come! Let earth receive her King! In the midst of winter, Christmas comes. But just for a moment, imagine winter without Christmas. An empty manger. A sky without stars. No carols. No savior. What a joyless thing to consider! And yet, how many of us live this very same way? Without the joy that comes from knowing Christ. In the third week of Advent, we light the candle of Joy, which is also known as 'The Shepherd's Candle'. Two thousand years ago, shepherds were awakened to a chorus of angels who told them 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people!'
