—1 Peter 1:6-12
by: Ellen Olson.
We are a people of glorious joy, a joy that is inexpressible and full of glory. In a world where horrible crimes are committed, acts of terrorism occur worldwide, and people suffer from disease and famine, this joy is often hard to explain. It sets us apart as clearly different from those around us. That's because our joy comes not from the things of this world, but from the salvation we receive from Jesus. Our joy is not in the here and now, but in the future. Is our joy visible to those around us?
