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 15:10-12

This week we have focused on the JOY that comes from knowing the deep love of Christ. We have looked at Scripture passages that highlight this theme of JOY. Consider the idea of JOY as it relates to the Christmas story. How will you respond to this JOY, which comes from knowing we are loved unconditionally by God?

Tomorrow we begin the final week of Advent, which points to the PEACE that Christ brings.
