Hebrews 5:1-10; Psalm 110; Mark 2:18-22

Joy in the Lord

When Jesus compares himself to a bridegroom he is reminding us that he has brought glad tidings, Good News to the world. Restored in and through Jesus our relationship with God is one of joyful love now, not fear. Despite the problems and difficulties we encounter, possibly every day of our lives, we should have a peace in our hearts that the world cannot give. In the very depths of our being there should be a serene conviction that, no matter what happens to us, all will be well, all will be well. Do we have this conviction?
