Good News Of Great Joy

Jesus was "the man of sorrows" yet the source of joy and poured forth the "oil of gladness." Joy isn't just a deep contentment, but a true happiness that overflows from the reality of God. We often contend with God for His joy to come, but He has already placed His Spirit inside of us that is greater than any trial on this Earth. While we will experience the pains and sufferings of our world, our joy is not attached to it.
