“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’” - Matthew 25:21
To hear our almighty God speak these words to us presents an indescribable glory reserved only for those whom God takes extreme pleasure in. On the day of His return are these the words we will hear? Were we to take the greatest pleasures of the world and aptly describe them in the most articulate way possible we would never even come close to what God has in store for us. “But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.’” - 1 Corinthians 2:9. The joy of the Lord resides in our eternal salvation in heaven.
A joy beyond human description can only be a joy that we share with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Without Christ as the cornerstone of our faith we will never know such joy. This is what Jesus brought to the manger. This is what Jesus brought to Calvary. This is what Jesus raised from the grave on Easter Sunday, a joy beyond description. Let us all share in the joy and the glory that began in a humble manger on Christmas Day!
Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And heav’n and nature sing,
And heav’n and nature sing,
And heav’n, and heav’n, and nature sing.
