INTRODUCTION.
All who find Jesus know, with the shepherds of the nativity, the joy He brings.
- Got Questions - What is the Joy of the Lord?
12-11-2022
MESSAGE.
I. Joy of Hearing Jesus.
God whispers to us in health and prosperity, but, being hard of hearing, we fail to hear God’s voice in both.
Whereupon God turns up the amplifier by means of suffering.
Then his voice booms.
C. S. Lewis.
Luke 1:39-45.
II.
Joy of Finding Jesus.
Happiness is caused by things that happen around me, and circumstances will mar it; but joy flows right on through trouble; joy flows on through the day; joy flows in the night as well as in the day; joy flows through persecution and opposition.
It is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart; a secret spring the world can’t see and doesn’t know anything about.
The Lord gives his people perpetual joy when they walk in obedience to him.
Dwight L. Moody.
The Lost Sheep.
Luke 15:1-7.
The Lost Coin.
Luke 15:8-9.
Prodigal Son.
III.
Joy of Knowing Jesus.
There is a joy which is not given to the ungodly, but to those who love Thee for Thine own sake, whose joy Thou Thyself art.
And this is the happy life, to rejoice to Thee, of Thee, for Thee; this it is, and there is no other.
Augustine of Hippo.
No one can snatch us away from Him.
John 10:28-29 “28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.
29 “My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.”
No one can still our inheritance.
1 Peter 1:4 “4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,”
Matthew 6:20 “20 “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal;”
No one can fool us.
Hebrews 12:2 “2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
CONCLUSION.
Joy of Hearing Jesus
Joy of Finding Jesus
Joy of Knowing Jesus.
