Summary
Pastor Safrit explores the concept of finding joy in suffering, referencing Jesus' perspective on the cross as outlined in the sermon. He emphasizes that while people typically do not associate joy with pain and hardship, Jesus demonstrates that true joy can be found even in the midst of suffering. The practical application encourages believers to reframe their understanding of joy and embrace challenges as part of their spiritual journey.
We don't do this. We don't seek destruction and suffering and sorrow and say, that's joy right there. Yep, that's what I wrote down. On my five-year plan, suffering.
On my five-year plan, debt. On my five-year plan, everything that can go wrong in life. That's my joy. We don't do that. And yet Jesus looks at what is in front of him, the cross, suffering, humiliation, and says, that's my joy.
