JESUS:OUR JOY PART TWO

BECAUSE JESUS IS MY JOY

Because Jesus is my JOY
I daily and eternally
find in Him so much more
than I will ever need.

Jesus is my JOY, the
Son of Abraham and David,
the Mighty Promised One,
Anointed One of God.

Jesus is my JOY, the
One who makes water into wine,
who miraculously
gives sight to the blind.

Jesus is my JOY, the
Master who kneels to serve,
He alone, the Way to God,
the Truth of God, His Life.

Jesus is my JOY, for
He will judge the Living
and the Dead for He
is the Lord of them all.

Jesus is my JOY, for
He has the Name above
every name; He is the
very Image of God.

Jesus is my JOY, for
through His life and death
and rising again He is
the Founder of our Faith.

Jesus is my JOY, for
eternally He reigns
as the mighty King of
Kings and the Lord of Lords.

JESUS: OUR JOY PART TWO

The Old Testament promises it:
Jesus will be our JOY.
The New Testament confirms it:
Jesus is our JOY:

1. We see this in Matthew 1:1. (“The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.”) The generations of God’s people and their relationship with Him, all point forward to the coming of Jesus, the Messiah, the Promised One.
2. We read this in Mark 1:24. (“What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.”) Even the demons must testify to the Truth: Jesus is the Messiah. They recognize in HIm God’s glory and His power—and their defeat.
3. We note this in John 2:11. (“This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.”) John includes this as one of seven signs that point to the miracle working power so obvious in the life of Jesus. As one who knew Jesus and followed him day—to-day, John recognized Him because He performed purposeful miracles. Each revealed His Loving concern and His unlimited power.
4. We recognize this in Matthew 20:28. (“. . . even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”) Clearly Jesus is assigned the messianic (Promised One of the Old Testament) title, the Son of Man, here. He naturally and constantly reveals His chosen humanity in contrast to His eternal divinity.
5. We read in John 14:6 (Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”) that Jesus is the foundation of all there is know about God and His plan for all people—through Jesus. God presents living proof of His eternal Love and Grace only through Jesus.
6. Then we read this in Acts 10:42 (And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.) Jesus is the judge of all people appointed by God. Because Jesus is God’s blessed appeal to the lost, our decision in response to God, judges our eternal destiny.
7. Through His life, death and resurrection Jesus reveals that He is the Lord of both the living and the dead. Romans 14:9. (For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.) We are reminded that every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. (Philippians 2:9)
8. The Apostle Paul also reminds us in Philippians 2:9 (“Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, . . .”) that because of Jesus’ sacrificial humility, His Name is above every other name. It is because of the Incarnation miracle that Jesus bears His unique Name of the Savior of the World.
9. Paul also establishes in Colosssians 1:15 (“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.”) how Jesus is the image of God—all of Him revealed in Human likeness. So, when we look at the life of Jesus, we see all that we need to know about God.
10. Then the writer of Hebrews declares in Hebrews 12:2 (“. . . looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”) Jesus is the founder and perfecter, the author and finisher, of our faith. Everything rests on Him and His sacrificial life, death, and resurrection.
11. In triumph, John testifies in Revelation 19:16 (“On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of Lords.”) that Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Clearly Jesus is our all-in-all. He is our JOY, the very best of all that God desires for us to experience in Him.
12. Jesus further assures us in Revelation 22:21-22 (He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.) So, we have Jesus’ Promise that He is coming soon. Surely, He is our JOY! Praise God!
