Sixth Sunday of Easter​

Because He Lives: We have lasting joy

​​​​​

Conventional wisdom says that joy flows directly from our circumstance. Our disposition is nothing more than the product of the events, conditions, and relationships in our lives. Therefore, it would seem that for our disposition to change, our circumstances would need to change. 
 

But Jesus offers a joy that is superior. It is not a product of circumstance; it’s a product of Easter.
 

Easter proves that God can take what normally causes people to weep and turn it into what causes people to rejoice. Sin, death, and shame went into Jesus’ tomb. Forgiveness, life, and glory came out. Our risen Savior gives us a joy that remains constant in the highest of life’s highs and the lowest of life’s lows. 

Because he lives, we have deep and lasting joy.
