What is Joy?

Показать описание

A moment of delight? A celebration? A mountain top view? A family time? Finishing school with no homework?

Joy is something that is more than happiness… Being able to sing even when it is hard… a knowledge that you are being held… you might not be happy right now, but you can still be joyful right now.

Everyone is searching for joy. Not just the fuzzy happiness of Christmas time, or the things in life which disappoint and melt like snow, but something more lasting, something that endures the tears of life. Where can we find it? Baby John, jumping in the womb for joy at the presence of Jesus tells us to call off the search: Jesus is real joy. And he brings us real, lasting, death defying joy by being our saviour.
