Read John 16:20–24
Discussion Questions
- What is the difference between Christian joy and circumstantial joy?
- Jesus says that there are seasons of joy and grief. What season are you in these days?
- Jesus says that grief will turn into Joy. How will you fight for joy and persevere in the hardships of life?
