So, what has
the Lord done that makes us rejoice?
He created all
things.
He put a plan
in place that took millennia to bring to completion.
At the right
time He sent His Son, born miraculously of a virgin.
His Son lived
a perfect, sinless life.
His Son took
the penalty of our sins upon Himself by giving His life on the cross.
His Son was
raised from the dead and ascended into heaven forty days later.
His Son promised
to return.
He sent His
Spirit to fill His disciples so they could proclaim the good news with power.
Through faithful
witnesses over 2,000 years He sent someone to lead me to faith.
He put His Spirit
in us, just as He did with His disciples.
He speaks to us through His word.
He has multiplied
manifold blessings in our lives and through our lives.
He blesses us
daily.
What is there
NOT to rejoice about?
This is what
He has done for us. Rejoice we must. Joy is like a fire in our bones, like an explosion
that demands release.
We rejoice, Lord, because of what You have done. Amen.
