Advent Week #3 - Joy in the Waiting By Jym Cook
Galatians 5:22-23 Matthew 2:9-12 James 1:2
Biblical Distinction Between Joy and Happiness
HAPPINESS is often related to Makarios (gr) which is or can be used for a fleeting happiness or Chara (gr) when used circumstantial.
JOY is used more closely to two greek words Chairo -to “rejoice” and Charis = Grace… Joy that flows from Grace.
His JOY was actionable, it was a navigational component in his life’s GPS.
JOY comes from God’s unmerited favor = GRACE…
A joy filled life is… uncommon.
1 Peter 1:6-8 Says believers can “Greatly rejoice” with “JOY inexpressible and full of glory” even while grieving through trials.
