Going Forth--Rejoicing in Jesus!

It's the 3rd week of Advent... where we light the "joy" candle in worship. And the reason this week is so powerful for us as Christians as we read the Scriptures from Isaiah 61, Mary's "Magnificat" and Paul's 1st letter to the Thessalonians is because of the promises and goodness of God in Jesus Christ. He IS coming! And for this reason (and so many more reasons), we CAN have joy. And the world needs us to show forth and invite others into that joy of the Lord too!
