Through a grandson’s simple “Good morning” and love for Jesus, we’re reminded that the message of Christ is both personal and communal—drawing every generation into His joy. As we share the gift of Jesus with others, our own fellowship with Him grows deeper and our joy becomes complete.

In the story of the Last Supper, the disciples fail to notice the pitcher, bowl, and towel by the door, consumed by the tensions of the moment, much like how we often overlook the reason we celebrate amid the busyness of the Christmas season.

With Christmas rapidly approaching, we may find ourselves making a mistake similar to the one the disciples made in the Upper Room.
