Ours isn't a life focused on the world, ours should be a life focused on Jesus Christ.
Knowing Jesus and being comforted by the Holy Spirit, should turn our grief into joy. Grief is a natural feeling, but it shouldn't take away the joy that believers have in Christ.
- The sorrows of the disciples would soon be turned into joy; as those of a mother, at the sight of her infant.
- The Holy Spirit would be their Comforter, and neither men nor devils, neither sufferings in life nor in death, would ever deprive them of their joy.
- Believers have joy or sorrow, according to their sight of Christ, and the tokens of his presence.
The believer is an heir to joy which no one can take away.
