#Advent #endtimes
It is a wonder that there should be so much anxiety and anger around Christmas time. In the U.S. many people have their most stressful times during the last month of the year, around Christmas.
We have certainly lost or managed to cover over the true sense of wonder and love and joy surrounding the salvation of God come to earth. Jesus the Christ, Yeshua Messiah, Isa Al Masih; He is born. He is Absolute Love.
The Wise Kings of that day realized what had happened and rejoiced.
Mat 2:9-12 "After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way."
The greatest of the Angels in heaven and the lowly of men on the earth together sang for joy.
Luk 2:13-20 "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!" When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart." And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them."

Lyrics
While by the sheep we watched at night,
Glad tidings brought an angel bright.
Refrain
How great our joy! Great our joy!
Joy, joy, joy! Joy, joy, joy!
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high!
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high!
There shall be born, so He did say,
In Bethlehem a Child today.
Refrain
There shall the Child lie in a stall,
This Child who shall redeem us all.
Refrain
This gift of God we’ll cherish well,
That ever joy our hearts shall fill.

Glad tidings brought an angel bright.

How great our joy! Great our joy!

Praise we the Lord in heaven on high!
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high!
There shall be born, so He did say,
In Bethlehem a Child today.

There shall the Child lie in a stall,
This Child who shall redeem us all.

This gift of God we’ll cherish well,
That ever joy our hearts shall fill.
