We claim God's Gifts to us because they are already given. Yet, we have to be willing to give them away to know we have them. "To have, give all to all," it says in the TEXT. And now we are on the verge of knowing we have all the Peace and Joy God holds out for us. Are we not glad to know this? Our little "problems" cannot stand up before the Infinite Peace and Joy that is our Divine Inheritance. Even in the face of a "problem," this mighty statement of a fact can dissolve it.

God's salvation in CHRIST is COSMIC and it looks alot like JOY.  I've been thinking about this; a big thing in a small package.  Jesus' coming was unbelievably small and by all indications insignificant - a small town called Bethlehem, born out back away from the inn, placed in a manger... yet, this was God's plan.  The Son of God came to us incarnate, born as a vulnerable little baby.  And babies are small packages.  Yet, this was a big 'happening' with a cosmic effect.

In a world where fear often drowns out gladness, Isaiah promised a sign: “Immanuel — God with us.” Joseph faced scandal, Mary faced uncertainty, yet both discovered that joy is not found in circumstances but in God's presence. Part three of For Unto Us reminds us that the joy of Christmas is the assurance that God has not abandoned us — He has come near, and He is still with us.

In this discussion with the JOYLAND Community, we explore what biblical joy truly is — and what it is not. Joy is not cheerfulness, hype, or pretending everything is okay. Scripture reveals that joy flows from God’s nearness. At the birth of Jesus, heaven announced “good news of great joy,” because God had drawn near to humanity in a whole new way. Even before Jesus was born, joy leapt in Elizabeth’s womb, and when the Magi saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. These moments show us that joy is the natural response to the presence of God. We also uncover a deeper truth from Hebrews 12:2 — that we are the joy set before Jesus, the reason He came. This episode reframes joy as God’s delight in us, a strength that remains even in sorrow, and the quiet confidence of knowing that we are not alone.

In Matthew 6, Jesus reminds us that if God cares for the birds and flowers, He'll surely care for us too. His faithfulness isn't just comforting, it's our defense against anxiety. But when we don't trust Him, we risk missing out on His promises and misrepresenting His goodness to the world. Let's live lives that show peace is possible, because we know who holds tomorrow.

There is no ‘I' in JOY “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.” -John Piper “I can't get no satisfaction…but I've tried.” -Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones Read Ecclesiastes 2:1-26 There is no “I' in JOY Let's Pray! The specific word for “I” in Hebrew is Ani, which occurs 1,492 times in the Old Testament. It means “I, me, mine, for myself.” The place it occurs most is right here in Ecclesiastes chapter 2 – 14 times. A Life of sinful excess and self-indulgence doesn't bring satisfaction V. 1-11 JOY = Jesus, Others, Yourself. Do you know what word does have ‘I' right in the middle of it? SIN. There is no record that Solomon either did write out the 10 commands as he began ruling, or that he read them to start each day as King – words from God written in his own handwriting (Deut. 17:14-20; See also 1 Samuel 8:10-18). A life of sober introspection and self-reform doesn't bring satisfaction V. 12-17 A life of self-focus inevitably leads to frustration and despair V. 17-23 “You have made us for yourself, O God, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.” -Augustine, written 1600 years ago God gives joy and perspective to those who want to please Him V. 24-26 The believer acknowledges that the ability he or she has to think and work and produce has come from God, and honors God while engaged in life's toil. Instead of living life in sinful excess, he or shoe seeks to live within biblical boundaries that they joyfully accept as God's provision. And no matter which topic we pick from chapter 2 the same trend repeats itself – seek satisfaction in created things apart from God – frustration and no satisfaction; enjoy God's gifts within their biblically defined boundaries – enjoyment and satisfaction! Eventually the God who orders all things re-purposes all work product under the sun to take care of His people both now and forevermore.

More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music

There's a phrase in the lyrics of Phil Wickham's song "Hymn Of Heaven" that comes directly from Revelation -- "death will be no more." There are many things we don't know about the new heavens and the new earth, but we know death will be eliminated. What a profound thought. What else might Scripture tell us about the new heaven and the new earth? Let's explore Revelation and Isaiah together! In this week's episode, I discuss the following: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Consult an overview Compare and contrast Repetition Meditate on Scripture The challenge to read Revelation for yourself Why Immerse: Messiah rearranged the books of the New Testament - InstituteForBibleReading.org Article Studying part of Revelation in light of the whole by consulting an overview of the book - The Bible Project Overview Videos Deciding on a chunk of Scripture to study and reading it repetitively by capturing small windows of time in your week Reading about the new heaven and the new earth in Revelation 21-22 and Isaiah 65:17-25 Death will be "no more" and "shall not be remembered or come into mind" - Isaiah 65:1, 19; Revelation 21:4 God's poignant examples of the distress death brings - Isaiah 65:20 The new heaven and new earth are the "heritage" of those in Christ - Revelation 21:7 Comparisons between Revelation 21-22 and Isaiah 65 Joy God's people Curse eliminated No more hurt and destruction The contrast between Revelation 21-22 and Isaiah 65 Isaiah details other things that cause distress Revelation paints a vivid picture of what it will look like   Through my study of Scripture lately I've been drawn to fostering an eternal perspective. I want to meditate on the hope and the future God has promised in His Word.     More Than a Song Playlist Additional Resources Lyrics - NewReleaseToday.com "Hymn Of Heaven" by Phil Wickham Song Story - YouTubeVideo "How to Live Your Life with Heaven in Mind" - Lifeway Article by Ed Stetzer "5 Curious Questions About Heaven" - Lifeway Article by Randy Alcorn "Revelation 21-22: A New Heaven & A New Earth -- An Epic Finale to an Epic Story - Bible Project Blog Post "9 Facts About Heaven that Will Surprise You" - Lifeway Article by Randy Alcorn Weekly Challenge Read and re-read Isaiah 65 and Revelation 21-22. Consider watching or reading an overview of the book of Revelation so that your focused study is understood properly in light of the whole. After soaking in Scripture over the course of several days, pull out a notebook and make note of comparisons and contrasts between Isaiah 65 and Revelation 21-22.
