“These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full” (John 15:11). I have yet to find anything that brings true joy apart from my Lord, Jesus. In fact, I stake my life that I will not find any other joy. Only in Him can we find full joy.
In verse 13 He says, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” If you found the greatest source of truth and happiness, it seems to follow that the most loving thing would be to proclaim that Truth.
The Gospel is needed everywhere. But despite the advances of technology and communication, there are desperate, Gospel-deprived, joy-deprived areas filled with individuals for which God intends salvation. My prayer is to partake in the work God has commanded in the Great Commission.
