Living in Forever Joy

Aug 9, 2020    Holly Rickett    1 Peter 1:8-9

Jesus said that our "joy" is complete in Him. We have joy because we have Christ. Joy is not an emotion that we feel based on our circumstances. It is a present day reality for those who put their faith in Christ. Our circumstances may leave us feeling anything but happy yet, when we consider all that Jesus did for us - His death on a cross for our sin, a grave defeated, an eternity secured in him, a relationship restored with God our Father, and God's power at work in our lives today, how can we not have joy?
