Advent: Joy in Christ

Advent is a season of joy, and most people look forward to the season. For we all want to experience joy as we long and chase after joy. Yet is seems that joy is always fleeting. When we think about joy, we tend to think of an emotion that we feel that is based on a favorable circumstance. Biblical joy is different. Biblical joy is more than a feeling or attitude that varies based on our circumstances. Biblical joy is rooted in God’s promises, it is a confident cheer in God’s presence, it can be found only in Christ.
