Christian Joy
Philippians 3:1-11
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.…


I. Its NATURE. The joy of faith — felt not seen — yet real and solid.

II. Its SOURCE AND SECURITY. Christ supplies — sustains it.

III. Its PERPETUITY. it is an apostle's last injunction — must endure forever.

(J. Lyth, D. D.)
