Against the assumption of many, Christianity will inevitably bring joy into the human heart. In this passage from Luke, we find Jesus bringing joy to a tax collector and his friends. When pressed, he describes life with him as a wedding celebration. This morning we will look at the joy Jesus brings and see what it can mean for our own lives following him.
Application Questions:
1. Do you naturally associate Christianity with joy? Why or why not?
2. In what ways do you see "religion" (apart from Christ) keeping you from joy?
3. How can you embrace the joy Christ offers you this week in your own life?
