Joy and Laughter in Turbulent Times
Coming out of a worldwide pandemic, observing conflicts between nations, and hearing distressing news every day, it’s not surprising the Gospel of Matthew records Jesus telling His disciples about the turbulent times that would occur on earth before His 2nd Coming. Elsewhere Jesus said, “In this world, you will have trouble.” Fortunately, He wasn’t finished with this statement. He added, “. . .but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world!” In spite of troubles and problems, Christ’s followers are expected to be joyful overcomers because of what Jesus did for us going willingly to the Cross, “for the Joy that was set before Him!” We Christians, have at our disposal the divine Gifts of Joy and Laughter that come from knowing Him and living daily in His presence. Let’s laugh, and sing with a merry heart so others may see in us the infectious Joy of the Lord that brings true happiness into the world.
