Joy Is Full When God Is Near

Preached by

What is the true path that leads to everlasting joy and fulfillment? In a year filled with suffering and uncertainty, many have felt lost and wandering in search of meaning, purpose and peace. But God’s word reveals there is one path above all others – the path of life made known through Christ. By dwelling in his blessed presence and walking in obedience to his will, one finds pleasures that satisfy forever. Let us explore how staying close to Jesus supplies all we need both now and for eternity.

  1. God makes known to us the singular path of life, which is Jesus Christ. We often get lost and wander onto false paths.
  2. In God’s presence there is fullness of joy. Walking with Jesus means being present with him by his Spirit.
  3. At God’s right hand are pleasures forevermore. Having access to God and acting as his delegate brings enduring satisfaction that comes from doing his will.

As we enter this Christmas season, may we fix our eyes once more on the One who came to restore us to the Father’s side. Through faith in Christ, we can experience God’s presence as a source of hope, not fear. With him as our guide, let us follow wherever he leads, content that his good plans for us lead to pleasures beyond all others. Then in all things, we will know perfect joy.
