Shepherd on the Search Advent Devotions for FamiliesSample

Joy To The World
When the angels visited the shepherds the night Jesus was born, they brought good news. They said the baby would be a great joy to all the people. Then more angels appeared and they filled the sky with joyful celebration. Jesus gives us a reason to celebrate—forever! When He is in our hearts we have joy, and that kind of joy cannot ever be taken away. This doesn’t mean that we won’t ever have times when we feel sad. Even Jesus was sad sometimes. But even when we are sad, knowing that Jesus is the Savior can still give us joy! Isn’t it great to know that no matter what we go through or how we feel the joy that Jesus gives is stronger than anything?!
