“True Joy”

Key Verse

“These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” John 15:11

Text — John 15:11-14

Message

The story of young Joseph was an interesting one. His brothers who should have loved him hated him, sold him as a slave and denied him access to his loving father. All these “bad” things should have made him become unhappy and agree to do evil that Potiphar’s wife suggested. His attention was not on the suffering and what others did to him.

True joy is only found in Jesus. There is no other thing that can satisfy our longing soul and give joy now and in eternity but Jesus. Toys, praises, success, promotion and opportunities would not. Although these things are good, they do not last. Anyone who seeks them and rejects righteousness would at best have happiness which is just for a short time but eventually end in hell like the foolish rich man in the Bible. True joy comes when you receive Jesus as Saviour and Lord and make Him the source of your joy. People whose attention is on themselves, what people say about them and on other people never have true joy.
