So how does Jesus bring JOY? Well, the very name "Jesus" means "God Saves." Because we are ALL sinners (Ro 3:23), the Good News (Gospel) of Jesus is that He paid the price for our sins. When we believe in the good news, we receive forgiveness from God through Jesus. Apart from Jesus there is no forgiveness. Read Romans 3:23, 6:23, 5:8 and 10:9-10 and see what God says. The JOY comes through the release of guilt by the forgiveness of your sins that sets you free to live for God. When you understand this, then you too will see how Jesus brings true JOY. That's why we celebrate Christmas.
"She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21)
