Exceeding joy - Ian Fraser
Isn’t it amazing how we can find sorrow and joy mixing, as it has
for us this last year, and especially in the last few weeks? So it
was when the Magi were led to the baby Jesus. In a world of
trouble, great joy filled the hearts of those Magi, when they saw
how God was leading them to where Jesus was.
Matthew’s Gospel records that when they saw the star, they
rejoiced with an exceedingly great gladness. It was a special type
of joy. It exceeded everything else. That’s what we want to look
at this morning. “Exceeding Joy!” We want to learn of a joy that
exceeds everything else in our lives.
