Fullness of Joy.
Posted by appolus on March 29, 2022

Act 2:28 You have made known to me the ways of life; you shalt make me full of joy in your presence.
When we are laid down in the earth, our corruptible bodies shall rise again in incorruption. Our resurrected bodies will encompass our eternal spirits. This is the way of life and not death, this is the portal through which we must pass from this world to the next. And there our joy shall be full in the presence of the Lord. His smiling face gives light to our spirits. We can undoubtedly experience His presence here on earth, in part, and even in the smallest measure it fills these broken bodies and gives us great joy. And this joy, the joy of the Lord, is our strength. Yet the fullness of our joy awaits us yet when life arises from death.
This is the blessed hope that we rest in brothers and sisters. It gives us great peace to know that death is merely the passing from this world to the next. That knowledge is strength. Oh death, where is your sting? Oh grave where is your victory? Knowing this brothers and sisters we should be steadfast in our walk and unmovable by circumstances. The apostles witnessed this very thing. They saw the Lord crucified, and they saw the Lord resurrected. They saw the empty tomb, they saw the Lord and they saw the marks on His hands and on His feet and on His side. They were witnesses to life, to eternal life springing up from the grave. Saints, we died and we were born again. The very same life of Christ raised us up as new creatures. We are witnesses to His resurrection power. He has made known to us the ways of life and we are called to live that life abundantly. Let us live that abundant life before men.
