Psalm 126

Speaker: Asa Humphreys

When the returned exiles hear God’s word, Nehemiah insists they trade tears for feasting because “the joy of the LORD is your strength.” Paul, writing from prison, repeats “rejoice” until the chains almost rattle in rhythm. Jesus pictures heaven itself being overjoyed over one lost sheep or coin found. Celebration testifies that grace is real, forgiveness final, and the future bright—even while wounds still heal.
