Part 3: Great Joy

The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. - Luke 2:10 (NIV)

Things we think will make us happy:

  • Finding our own IMPORTANCE

  • Fulfilling our own DESIRES

  • Following our own PATH

You are not enough to give you JOY

Joy comes from finding God’s SON

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” - Matthew 2:1–2 (NIV)

After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. - Matthew 2:9–10 (NIV)

Joy comes from fulfilling God’s PURPOSE

“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her. - Luke 1:38 (NIV)

And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. - Luke 1:46–48 (NIV)

Joy comes from following God’s COMMANDS

If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. - John 15:12 (NIV)
