These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

In this season where we celebrate the coming of King Jesus, he still stands ready to bring and to be joy. There are many hard things that we will experience in life. Without joy, they can be unbearable. But with joy, we can endure them. And the good things in life will be all the better in the light of the ultimate gladness that is available in Christ.
