What Peace, Joy and Hope?

Joy, peace, hope!  Like all those treats that tantalize our taste buds at this time of year these words ring in our ears during the season of Advent. So, it shouldn’t surprise us that the holiday culture also makes good use of them as well.  They show up everywhere from seasonal movies to cards and decorations.  But if you listen carefully, as these words are become detached from their source, their meaning becomes lost and fuzzy. Thankfully, Paul points us back to what peace and joy are all about and where they’re found.
