In this passage, we see that true and lasting joy is found in the Person of Jesus Christ who came into the world to remove our punishment, to defeat our enemies, and to dwell with his people.
On this third Sunday of Advent, we see that our joy isn't rooted in the inevitable disappointment of Christmas but in Jesus Christ, our Saviour and our King. We can take great joy in the God who takes joy in us.
We can take great joy in the God who takes joy in us.
