Claiming Joy
The great challenge is to claim the joy that Jesus offers us. Jesus is God of the living. Jesus came to bring life, and life in abundance. Jesus came to break the chain of wounds and needs and to overcome death. He came to give life, and life is joy. “I want my joy to be yours and for your joy to be complete” (John 15:11). Jesus says, “I came to overcome death and to give you life that does not end.”
Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.
- Isaiah 35: 6
Reflection Question: How will you more deeply claim the joy that Jesus offers today?
