Joy to the World!
Christmastide, 2012
Thursday, December 27

Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens;

Greetings!

And so the season of waiting and longing is over. Jesus is born. Joy to the world! On this first Sunday of Christmas, we sing along with the psalmist:

 

Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his host!


As you prepare for worship on Sunday, take a look at that beautiful Psalm (148) and also reflect on the passage from 1 Samuel. You can find both Scriptures, plus all of the appointed passages for this coming Sunday, in the column on the right.
  
Think on these things: Are there some similarities between the Psalm text and that which the angels announced to the shepherds? And what about the story of little Samuel and that of Jesus?
  
Looking forward to what you share this coming Sunday.
  
Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
