This week we focus on “What Joy Is Worth.”
From Isaiah’s vineyard to the psalmist’s cry for restoration, from the heroes of faith in Hebrews to Jesus’ fiery words in Luke, we see that joy is not cheap or easy—it is precious and costly. Hebrews 12:2 reminds us that “for the joy set before him, [Jesus] endured the cross.”
True joy isn’t fleeting happiness. It’s the fruit of justice, righteousness, perseverance, and faithfulness. It is worth enduring hardship, worth the refining fire, worth running the race with our eyes fixed on Christ.
