Abe’s lessons today were about Joy and why a Christian should always have joy, even when things are tough. Sure, that is much easier said than done, but we can always feel that way if we have the right perspective.

Why should we have this Joy? Of all the passages that Abe used today, my favorite was this one:

Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV) – “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
