Love God Greatly - Philippians: Choosing JoyCampione

Read: Philippians 3:20-21
SOAP: Philippians 3:20
Sometimes we just need to be reminded that this world is not our home. When troubles come, when disaster strikes, and we feel the heartache of a broken, sin-filled world, we need to remember this world is not our home. When we feel out of place, it’s okay. We have the hope of heaven in our hearts; that a better tomorrow is coming. For now we are in the waiting, but it won’t last forever. The best is yet to come.

How is it possible to have deep joy in the midst of overwhelming sorrow and suffering? Out of 104 verses in this power-packed book, Jesus is mentioned directly or indirectly 51 times. In the end, Paul teaches us that Jesus is the Author and only Source of true joy. The things of this world can never satisfy our deepest longings. Without Jesus there is no salvation, and therefore no lasting joy. Without Jesus there is no way to overcome our circumstances, to love people who are hard to love, to reconcile, to forgive, and to live godly lives.
