John 16:20-24 ~ sorrow will turn into Joy

 




John 16:20-24



 You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy. 21 When a woman is giving birthshe has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

22 So also you have sorrow nowbut I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. 23 In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.




Jesus spoke the Truth. The disciples would have such sorrow they would hide behind locked doors for days. Beginning only to come forth when Jesus was told to be alive. Of course, even seeing the young man in Nain and Lazarus come alive - they did not believe Mary Magdalene saying  Jesus is Alive.





Jesus works with fearful people and doubters. He always has. God, being God, hopes we take even disaster and imminent death with trust.


This weekend we were supposed to have a  7 person family reunion. And this involved driving to another city for a tournament for Edward and gathering from 2 states and 4 cities. I got there tonight about 9 pm after traveling in the dark. My husband greeted me saying, "No one is coming, there was a horrible traffic jam in Denver and the other son has an ill dog." Another person remembered her father had a birthday. 

So, no one is in the house with me, and I'm out of town. Then we just looked at the weather for Edward's tournament, which will have 40 mph winds and rain.

Edward eyes me in apprehension. I had asked to join him Saturday and would have been cozy at home. I remembered a weekend in the dorm in college when I had 3 plans fall apart, and spent the entire weekend alone in a 400 person dorm.

And usually, there would have been yelling and phone calls and explanations.

Last night, I watched a 10-minute segment of fights on Commercial Airliners. The number of fights was probably 30. Sometimes it looked as if ten or more people were involved. And a fight of 45 people in Puerto Rico before the flight took off. Scenes of the movie: "Kingsman, Secret Service." It wasn't profoundly odd enough, we had to see the clip twice.

The emotion it raised in me was this recollection

Matthew 9:36

When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, 
because they were harassed and helpless, 
like sheep without a shepherd.


I wrote a Post about going to the Pharmacy and seeing an elderly woman and young 20s store clerk almost having a personal riot. 

Then I remembered, as I watched the violent video with plane fighting, when my son would cry as a toddler. We didn't go out to eat when they were toddlers past 7 p.m., crying with great sorrow would start. The only thing to stop the sorrow was meeting bedtime and their own blankets and bed things.

As I had this memory, a child on a commercial airplane began to just howl like a wounded animal to see the adults go crazy.

How could I have the typical sorrow and reactions that life had overcome the desire to gather as a family? The whole world is facing people in their immediate lives act like the people in the Pharmacy. Except, not exactly. Europe and the UK don't report an increase in crimes during the Pandemic. France only reports Domestic Violence, pretty bad, actually. Australia keeps meticulous crime records and with their bizarre upheaval, they aren't losing their minds in crime and airplanes.

If you want to know the effects of Crime on people, you can't get more in their face than the violent plane fights. It's incredible to see adults unable to remain calm in close surroundings.


We have become a people who are overwhelmed. And the sorrow of us having so much initial success in Pandemic. The world of blue skies and clear water in Venice would become far from equality and steeped in violence and emotion.

Lost people. Hurting people. We are these people. And it's tragic. 



We are the most Praying Nation. We need to find our Strength with Patience for One Another.

Not allow violence, but not decide to provide a place violence and crime can occur. The U.K. has amazing gates that close unbelievably fast. Creating a hallway where the Police come and collect the violent. Works. Well.


Being so in His Plan - prayers with miracles are given.

In in this Seeking and Having Found Jesus, Father God delights in seeing His Plan unfold. I would guess there are some Celestial Candid Camera moments for Answered Prayer. It's written Heaven rejoices over one Saved Soul.





Luke 15
5 And when he finds the one lost sheep, He joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’

 
 I wonder if Heaven watches out-takes videos of faces when Prayers are Answered.

Some day, some day, some day, we will see the Heaven Videos of Answered Prayers.


Jesus has always known He is a bringer of Joy.

Luke 2:10
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.

Luke 10
17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”

18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

Luke 19:37
When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen!!!




God tells us in Genesis - He sees this creation as Good. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

Jesus tells us in John - He has Joy in being part of this Life. Father God sees much more of Life than we do. In Jesus is life, and that life is the light of all mankind.


Abba, Father,

We pray Your Words:

John 15:11
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

John 16:21
joy that a child is born into the world.

John 16:22
So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.

John 16:24
Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.

John 17:13
“I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them."



When the Saints Go Marching In,
I want to be in the Number seeing
the Heaven made Candid Camera Videos 
and the
Jesus Answered Prayer Videos
with Jesus.

Dwell in us.
Dwell in those we Love.
Help us to seek You First.
Help us to see the Light of Christ
in one another.
Find Respect.
Find Patience.
Find Joy.
Hug like Bob Saget.

For our Nation, particularly, in this weird Crime time.
We will see what requires our Compassion
and what requires the UK fast gate wall and jail.

Help us to be the people
who provide a place
of Love and Encouragement
we don't get to the place of violence and hate.

The anger of mankind
does not produce the Righteousness
of 
GOD.

You, Father, see us as we are
and want to save the world
In Jesus Christ.

Bless those surrounding
the people 
who feel like Lost Sheep.
Help us to be unobtrusive, kindly Shepherds.

Bless the Brave.
The First Responders
The Medical People
Bless those who care for them.

We Simply say
the Lord's Prayer
and 
ask You to Lead and Guide us.
In Jesus Christ,
We will find Joy, Again.
Amen.

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
