finding joy in kindness

Christmas is ultimately about kindness, because true kindness is completely one-sided. By coming to earth, Jesus provided an example of this kind of kindness and it gives us a chance to experience ultimate joy.

Philippians 2:5-8

Showing kindness typically gives us a postive feeling - but what exactly is the feeling?  And what exactly is it that makes us feel this way?

Why Christmas is the reason for joy:

1. It shows us how to experience joy in life.

· Kindness helps us experience who God made us to be.

· Kindness requires us to be less about ourselves.

· True kindness is completely one-sided. (but not quite)


=> By coming to earth (Christmas) Jesus provided an example of kindness.

=> By coming to earth, Jesus also solved a problem.


2. It offers us a chance to experience ultimate joy.

· It wasn’t just about the manger and some shepherds.

· It was about the cross and every last one of us.
