I want to know what they talked about, don’t you?

As they navigated the ninety or so miles of rugged, treacherous terrain between Nazareth and Bethlehem, what did they say to each other?

Did they laugh out loud about the wild miracle God had invited them into?

Did they feel awkward in the silences and fill the space with silly stories and antics?

Or were they giddy? Singing and dancing as they made their way.

They were teenagers after all.

And there’s Jesus. Perfect Jesus. Tucked carefully beside Mary’s heart, just days from His birth.

Already Lord. Already the Savior. Already the One all of creation cries out for.

Jesus.

What incredible joy there must have been there in those moments leading up.

Being so close to Joy Himself.

And this morning as we anticipate with them - with those human teenagers on the most important walk of their lives - let’s breathe deep the joy of this history changing miracle.

Let’s remember Who exactly He is. And what He means.

This Baby. Our Saviour.

His IS Joy. He IS Peace. He IS Hope.

And while the world demands our attention and seeks to pull us away from the whole point - may you and I hunker down with a determined knowing. Just as they did.

Jesus is coming. Jesus.

He changes everything.

Jesus - He makes the darkness tremble. He silences fear.

Remember and Rejoice in that this morning.

❤️

“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Romans‬ ‭15‬:‭13‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
Psalm‬ ‭16‬:‭11‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)
