Readings:
II Kings 8
John 16:16-24
Focus:
John 16:22b:"I shall see you again, and then you will be joyful, and no one shall rob you of your joy."
There are many difficulties that we encounter as we go through life. I myself have already endured cancer and open-heart surgery. Many people fare even worse: they have to suffer oppression, starvation, war, and other horrors.
But when we know Christ, we know that we will see him in the end, and then we will be joyful, and no one will rob us of our joy. It will be an everlasting joy, more satisfying than any joy we have ever known. Jesus has promised it to us, and we can trust him. I would like everyone to know about that coming joy.
