Rejoice Evermore

Do you believe that Christmas joy is real? And do you believe that such Christmas joy is not just for other people but also for you? The holidays are not always holly, jolly, and bright, but real people face real hardships, uncertainties, and doubts. How can Paul say in a blanket way: “Rejoice evermore?” Paul knew the angelic announcement in the Bethlehem skies: “I bring you good news of great joy for all the people!” Jesus came to rescue our wretchedness, forgive our filth, and heal our hurts. From His cross and empty tomb, He freely gives unlimited, undiminished, unending joy! The joy of Jesus stems the tide of gloom and despair, brings confidence in the midst of confusion, hope in the midst of uncertainty, and calm in the midst of current storms. Christmas means we can rejoice evermore!
