The incarnation of Christ (God taking on human form) allows us to rediscover Christmas each and every year. We have the chance to embrace joy no matter our circumstances. Every day of Advent reminds us of the joy of salvation, but we must seek our happiness, not in the seasonal trappings and traditions around us, but in returning constantly to Christ, our source of joy. Let’s choose to continue the process of rejoicing, despite the pain and challenges we are facing. In the midst of our discouragement, let’s remember the good news of great joy: A Savior has been born, Christ our Lord, and He will carry us through and complete His work in us no matter what.
