How much joy is in your life? You probably have a lot of reasons to be glad and full of gratitude, but that’s not the question. To what degree does your experience match up with a promise from Jesus of joy? On this night we’re studying, Jesus says some pretty surprising things about joy.  We probably make the same assumptions that the disciples did before this conversation. Joy comes when life is going well and sorrow comes when life is hard and painful. Yet on this night, Jesus takes time to tell them that following Him should be filled with joy as a norm. Even grief will be turned into joy. Is that idea still true?  Does following Jesus allow us to live as people full of joy?  Let’s see what Jesus says and allow Him to teach us what He was trying to teach His disciples that night.
