Acts 18:9-18; Psalm 47; John 16:20-23

Hearts full of joy

Even though we live in post-resurrection times and know that the war against Satan has been won, there are still times of “weeping and wailing”. In many countries of the world there is either active persecution or else contempt and derision of followers of Jesus. We need to be like St Paul and listen to the Lord when he tells each one of us “do not be afraid … I am with you”. Then will our hearts be full of joy.
