Good day brothers and sister. We now have come to the Third Sunday of Advent, Gaudete Sunday in Latin, which means rejoice. This Sunday we light the Joy candle and we rejoice. Let’s see what the Smart Book has to say;
James 5:7-10 Amplified
Exhortation
7 So wait patiently, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits [expectantly] for the precious harvest from the land, being patient about it, until it receives the early and late rains. 8 You too, be patient; strengthen your hearts [keep them energized and firmly committed to God], because the coming of the Lord is near. 9 Do not complain against one another, believers, so that you will not be judged [for it]. Look! The Judge is standing [b]right at the door. 10 As an example, brothers and sisters, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord [as His messengers and representatives]. 11 You know we call those blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] who were steadfast and endured [difficult circumstances]. You have heard of the patient endurance of Job and you have seen the Lord’s outcome [how He richly blessed Job]. The Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.
What is this? God wants us to be patient while we rejoice? Yes, we are to patiently wait for the coming of the Lord. We need to strengthen our hearts by keeping them energized and firmly committed to the Lord. The time for His coming is near. We aren’t supposed to be complaining to one another as the Lord our judge is watching and standing right at the door. We are to be an example to one another by suffering and being patient. Just look at all the prophets of the Lord that came before, how they suffered and were patient. We call them blessed because they were steadfast while enduring difficult circumstances. We have heard of the patient endurance of Job and we saw how God richly blessed Job. The Lord is FULL of compassion and is merciful to us.
Let’ not be like the rest of the world, always moaning and groaning, especially at this time of year. We should have hearts full of joy. We have seen the Lord come to us as a man child and we will see Him come in all His glory soon. We just need to be patient as everything is being played out. We will be blessed for all of the suffering we have endured from and in the world. Light that candle of joy and let it shine bright! Joy to the world for Christ has come and He will come again!
The Lord bless and keep you, His face shine upon you,
