Jesus Christ You Are My True and Only Real Joy

 Everyday society is trying to make no sense at all. Violence in the streets and hearts are growing cold. We are living in an age where technology is at an all time high and offers us numerous ways to reach out to one another and yet we realize that despite being more connected than ever- our hearts remain distant, cold,  and even more disconnected.

Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

Many people are filled with anxious thoughts, worry, depression, debt, physical pain and that nothing seems to fulfill us anymore. There are so many people who pose themselves as guru or teachers, mentors on how to get rich really quick, how to build confidence, how to earn millions and millions of dollars and yet we cannot seem to fix the ill of society on our own.

Our intellectual milestones as humans remain incomplete, we realize that our lives are mere dust in the wind. We cannot stop trying to build one project after the other, in the hopes that the next triumph, the next successful human venture will fill the void. But once you reach the so called top, that is where you began to falter. You begin to see the emptiness of it all, what now? Where is the next step? Where do we go from here?

We realize that the very things we invest our energy and time the most  hardly give any satisfaction. Our own family frustrates us, our own marriage frustrates us, our own parents trigger our deepest anxieties. Our children have started disconnecting with us. Our own brothers and sisters are distant to us. We find that even work can no longer fulfill us,  despite the many achievements and riches we have achieved, despite the countless awards of excellence and many human triumph and pursuits we remain empty.

The world is thrown into the greatest confusion there is. The celebrities we admire the most depict  failed marriages, the most beautiful faces we know give us blank, empty entertainment. More and more people tend to identify with dark characters in films- our pain and sins grow deeper. The world is dim and in our deepest of sorrow, we began to realize that  need for ultimate governance, for Truth, for a Real Savior- for Jesus Christ.

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Romans 3:23

 Only in confessing our greatest sins to God, only in professing and coming back to the One who created us do we find Peace- we all want to go home, we long for this home, our real home. We long for our real family- we long for justice, righteousness- we began to feel terrified in the knowledge that the human psyche is weak, our hearts are filled with violence- we need saving- we need God more than ever- we need Christ so that our pure joy can come back again– we  groan, we wait, we realize that intense longing, the intense hope that only a relationship with God can provide. We need a real and eternal meaning that no one can subvert, we need the Ultimate Truth.

Happy are those  who wake up from the illusion that the world provides. Happy are those that see through the confusion. Great is the treasure of people, who have been thrown into utmost despair and loneliness, into separation so that we will seek the face of God. 

We need Jesus Christ, so that our Life can make sense.

Only in the Power and promise and the Great Love of Christ do we feel we belong.

We have existed on earth for a very long time and have long attempted to find the Truth in humanity, but humans failed us. Fellow human beings do not offer us the Answer we have been hoping for. Anything that we are doing, we realize should be offered up to the will of God. Only God’s plan, only Jesus Christ truly makes any sense.

If we are to work, if we are to create, if we are to live it must be for the glory of God. If we are to interact, if we are to love, if we are to converse with one another it must be for the victory of Christ in our lives. For only Jesus Christ, and the work that we do under God’s command and guidance will ever truly make sense.

When we become rich, we must use if for the glory of God. If we experience hardships and poverty we must understand that this too is the will of God, but that if we call out to Jesus Christ all of the suffering we will gain wisdom and triumph over any obstacle. We will be tested, we will be tried.

The world will reject us, the way it rejected Christ- there will be trials by fire- but there is comfort in the knowledge that all these things would be worth it in the end. For Jesus Christ is the end reward- And that no matter how the world tests us, no matter how many principalities, temptations and evil things that surround us, there is a Pure Light Guiding Humanity- All of our joys, our triumphs is in God- and Jesus Christ will deliver us out of the hand of the wicked.. out of the hand of this terrible world–

Jesus Christ if our pure and only joy.

Because Jesus Christ died and saved us from our sins and the perils of hell, we can love our family again. Because of Jesus Christ, we can look at other people with loving hope and trust again. Because Jesus Christ loved us and have forgiven us- we can love and forgive each other once again.

We now understand that the world is broken, the systems are broken. Humanity is a mess. Even we are a great mess and we begin to understand our own weaknesses, our sins, our need for repentance. When we see the evils and perils of the world, it would no longer catch us off guard.

Jesus Christ knew this, we are living in a world filled with chaos and broken people and yet Jesus still came to save us. Christ chose not to ridicule, he instead chose to give us a chance for redemption.

Jesus Christ humbled himself and joined humanity, he became a man for this purpose- to walk with us, to understand us. Because of this, we should extend our loving patience and that no matter how much our own family, our own friends, our own husbands and wives have wronged us. Despite the ills that our neighbors have done, despite the rejection of the people around us–despite the greed, lust and corruption of human hearts we can take courage from the love of Jesus Christ- a seed of hope and loving light can enter our Soul-

Because of Jesus Christ we attain pure joy , that despite living on this earth we are no longer afraid, no worried because we already live in Christ- with a new heart and a new Spirit.

” And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new Spirit within you. I will take the stony heart out of their flesh and I will give unto them an heart of flesh and I will be their God.”- Ezekiel 11:19

Jesus Christ died for broken people, in a broken world.

Jesus said, “It is finished!” Then He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. John 19:30

For this was the plan of God, the greatest and most beautiful master plan there is in the Universe.

His plan is Wonderful. It is Victory. To Win Souls for All Eternity.

Because of this there is no longer any need to feel distraught, our joy and pure happiness is in Jesus. You and I are never alone.

Jesus came and told His disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth… And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 28:20

JESUS CHRIST WILL SOON COME TO TAKE US HOME…

There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. John 14:2–3

Yes this world is broken, filled with violence, hatred and cold hearts but we need not feel afraid nor fret, Jesus has already conquered this world. Jesus Christ promised to come and personally take us home. This pain that we feel in this life is only temporary.

When we are worried or afraid, lonely or overwhelmed . . . whatever we going through, the love of Jesus is greater. And that is pure true and real joy.

True and Real Joy Can Only be Found in God’s love–
