Joy: the "mood" of true Christianity

Loading player...
When you watch advertisement, the actors and models are almost always smiling, to show you the great enjoyment they have in that product or service. It would be a strange thing to see actors or models with a product and looking gloomy, dour, or unhappy. No, the joy communicates the value of what is supposedly being offered. Joy is not simply an add-on to the Christian life. Joy is the very mood of true Christianity. G.K. Chesterton said, "Joy is the gigantic secret of the Christian". And joy is the great theme of this last section of John 16, as Jesus is saying goodbye to His disciples. Do you know the gigantic secret of the Christian - real joy?
