God promises us peace. And not just someday in heaven – God promises us peace right here on this earth! It’s not a peace that’s defined by an absence of trouble; it’s a peace that’s defined by knowing that our God is in control.

As we sing ‘Joy to the World,’ we’re not trying to summon generic Christmas cheer. We are looking forward to a real day, not long in the future, when our Savior will take away all sin, sufferings, problems, and pain forever.

Jesus didn’t just come to inspire us to be better people, or to make our world a better world – he came to save us from our sin and bring us to a perfect world, where there will be no such things as danger, fear, death and pain ever again.

To be a believer in God is to wait patiently – not a stress-filled kind of waiting, but a joyful anticipation of things that are to come.
