Chrbtmai Joy
firs t parents, Adam and I v e ,
Odd sent prophets *tto fo re -
W d this glorious tvOirt. And
'•when the fullness of the tim e
was corns, God sent forth His
Son, made of a woman, made
under the law . to redeem them
that w ere under the law , that
* • might receive the adoption
of sons." (Oalatlaas 4 j4 -4 ) No
wonder there was r»)oteii«i
The Saviour of Siondrs had
eomel
The V irg in M ary herself ex«
Ofessed her Joy In thia way:
" M y soul doth magnify the Lord,
and my s p irit hath re)olced In
Cod my Saviour." (Luke 1:4«-
47) Though she was chosen by
God to provide the body for the
Incarnate Son of Ood, yet she,
like the rest of us, seeded a
Saviour from sin. Men and
women of all generations and
from all walks of life have lik e ­
wise found true Joy sAd peace
through receiving the Lord Je­
sus C hrist as th e ir personal
Saviour from sin. t h is has not
been k passing fancy, for th eir
very character and th eir p u r­
pose In life have been' Changed.
They have experienced the truth
of the words spokefl by the Lord
Jesus: " I am come that they
might have life , and that they
might have It more abundantly."
(John 10:10)

L
We may have thls.safhe Joy
today. It does not cfift*' through
the exchanging of g lh a, nor by
the perform ing of religious
ceremonies, nor by seif»effort
or works of our o *n . It Is
given rather to thoss who admit
their owh sinfulness, and who
penitently receive tha> gifts of
sternal life through tpM r Sa­
viour, the Lord Jesus C h rist,
confessing that for theft there
le no other hope fo r forgive­
ness and redemption. " F o r God
so loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that who­
soever belleveth In Him should
hot perish, but have everlasting
lif e ." (John 3:14) "B u fs a m a n y
as received Him , to them gave
He power Io becotai th e sons
Of God, eked lo them that be­
lieve on His nam e." (John I;
12) " F o r by grace are ye laved
throufh faith; and that not of
ym iraelvat: It la the gift of
God: not of works, lest any man
should boast. (Ephsstahs 2:4-6)
