But new dimension - joy even in suffering. Joy does not have to be affected by our circumstances. That joy will be even better than what we have now. How to experience Christian joy. A. Personal relationship with God.
Sin breaks the relationship.
C. Look for joy beyond the sorrow. Jesus had joy in spite of cross. He tells us to rejoice at troubles, because our reward in heaven will be great. Your joy is determined by God, not world. If world is depressed now, just wait till after Christmas.
