(Bundle of Joy)

My sweet, sweet People.  Gather around and adore the precious baby that is also your King and Saviour.

What a bundle of Joy He is.  Have you ever thought of Him that way before?  He is a Bundle of Joy because of all that He is for you in your life.

He does not change.  The babe grows into a man but His very Purpose was to come and be Lord, King and Saviour for His People. 

So He continues to be a bundle of joy.  All the goodness of God, wrapped up in God, our God, your own personal God, yet at the same time God of ALL people throughout all time.

Oh, what a Bundle of Joy!

Would you not be joyful if you knew someone was come to save you from your sins?

Would you not be joyful if the Son of God was sent to Love and Forgive you, and show you how to Forgive?

Would you not be joyful if you knew that the babe was not a mere babe, but Christ, God’s only Son come to guide you and form you and inform you?

Would you not be joyful if you knew that He comes with the promise of eternal life?

Look what the baby Bundle of Joy, Jesus, can’t tell you as a babe but brings to fruition in His Life.

Have we ever thought of the grown up Jesus as a Bundle of Joy?  Yet He IS.

See the babe in the manger this year as a Bundle of Joy.  Joy to the World for all that He has to offer each one of us. 

Unwrap this Bundle of Joy this Christmas and ask the babe in the Manger to reveal to you all the Love and Mercy He has for you and wants you to have. 

He has it ALL.  It is just up to you to unwrap the Glory He has for you and accept is as His Merciful Gift this Christmas.

Do not shy away.  Do not baulk but rather say “Finally Lord, I want to receive You into my heart.  I want to receive ALL that You want me to have. Finally Lord, I will claim you as the best Bundle of Joy ever.” 

Pour Your Graces over me Lord.  Let me sing Glory to You with all the heavenly angels.

Joy to the World!
