Time to rejoice!

Today, we begin reading in Luke (ch1-3). It should be a familiar narrative of the conception and birth of John the Baptist and Jesus. John was the prophecized forerunner to Jesus, m.aking the way for the Lord. See ch1v76-79. In ch2, the focus is on Jesus' birth. V25 talks about a man named Simeon, who was filled with the HS, waiting for the Lord. Note his words in v34. The child will be rejected by many and it will be their undoing. But he will be the greatest joy to others. Which side do we really fall on? If Christ is our greatest joy, how often do we tell others? When our team wins in sports, we boast and brag and celebrate. Christ is greater than that, yet we keep it to ourselves. We should be joyful in all we do! That includes the RGIII run! Tell others who Christ is!
