It was to the lowliest members of society that the Angels announced their good news of great joy that the Messiah, the one who would save the world, was born. After the shepherds visited the baby Jesus, they left praising God, full of joy.

Yet Christmas isn't always as joyful as we expect it to be. Whether it's experiencing a loss or a setback or painful memories or being away from loved ones, the holidays can be one of the saddest times of the year. Jesus wants to bring you joy overflowing, no matter your circumstances.

Do you need joy this Christmas season? Look no further than Jesus.
