Easter 2016 reflections: I will see you again

Easter 2016 reflections: I will see you again by ric Gustafson


Today's bible reading is John 16: 17-24. Verse 22 Jesus says I will see you again then you will rejoice and no one can rob you of that joy. Jesus was telling his followers that they were going to go through a time of great pain and sorrow. All of us have had great periods of painful experiences. It could be war, divorce, surgery or loss of a loved one.
Sorrow comes to us along the road of life. Jesus endured the cross and disregarded it's shame. Jesus's sacrifice fulfilled God's eternal purpose for us. Jesus's sacrifice opened the door to friendship and fellowship with God. The joy of Jesus in our lives overshadows all of our pain.
Praise God.
