Joy

Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, death, is your victory? Where, death, is your sting?

For a follower of Christ, the advent season can be a time of focused worship through anticipation. We worship with anticipation as we are reminded of the delightful details of Christ’s second coming, while also keeping in view the cost of our freedom secured in His first coming. And what is to be our response as we reflect and wait? Joy! Certainly, life includes trails of suffering, sorrow, and solitude. However, as our faith is tested and grown in anticipation, may we live as God directed through Peter. Though you have not seen him, you love him; though not seeing him now, you believe in him, and you rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy, because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls (1 Pet. 1:8, 9).
