“Rejoice!” is the traditional theme for this third week in Advent. But there are many reasons why we may not feel much like rejoicing this time of year. Perhaps an overly full calendar, seasonal depression, or missing loved ones has Advent joy feeling like an out of reach dream for you. John the Baptist struggled to find joy in Jesus due to his imprisonment (Luke 7). Yet Jesus assured him that the Savior had come to save his people – not by fixing all our immediate troubles, but by delivering us from our greatest enemies of sin, death, and Satan. In that, we can rejoice!
