Christ was born into a weary world. King Herod ruled the land
with a legacy of ruthlessness. The Romans treated the people of
Israel with contempt, imposing harsh taxes and land seizures that
forced many into subsistence farming. Poverty and destitution were
pervasive. And yet, Christ was born, bringing good news of great joy
for all people.
This season, we invite you to look closely at the details in the
opening chapters of the Gospel of Luke. Discover where joy is
sprinkled throughout the narrative. Identify the moments when joy
arrives—despite trepidation, fear, or grief. And consider how joy can
be a companion to you this season, for our joy is rooted in the truth
that we belong to God. Can you tether yourself to that deep truth?
You deserve to feel joy—fully. The world needs your joy, even if you
are weary. - A Sanctified Art Team
