Wise (Proverbs 11:30) In distress (2 Corinthians 2:11) Do not always know the joy True in my life Why is this so?

3 Jesus Found Joy Purpose in coming Save souls (Luke 19:10)
Emptied Himself (Philippians 2:7) Died (Hebrews 12:1, 2)

4 Jesus Found Joy The Father’s will
Desire to please (John 5:30; 6:38; 8:29) Joy in pleasing others Worthwhile efforts not without cost (2 Samuel 2:18-25)

5 Jesus Found Joy Our joy in winning souls Love (Luke 10:25-37)
Serve (1 John 3:16-18) Cannot do personal work impersonally “People don’t care how much we know until they know much we care”

6 Paul Found Joy Feelings toward the Philippians
Joy and crown (Philippians 4:1) Established the church there (Acts 16:12-34) Took the Gospel into new territory (Romans 15:20)

7 Paul Found Joy Longed to see them Objects of his love and affection
His work broadened as their faith grew (2 Corinthians 10:13-16)

8 Paul Found Joy Proof of his labor Not done in vain (Philippians 2:16)
Their steadfastness reinforced his resolve Let’s not “grow weary” (Galatians 6:9)

9 Paul Found Joy Wanted them to be rewarded
Wasn’t after what they had (Philippians 4:14-17) Recall the Jim Bakker incident Be like Paul (1 Thessalonians 2:1-12) Seeing the faithful in heaven (1 Thessalonians 2:18-20)

10 John Found Joy Hearing about them (3 John) Good news (v. 3)
They taught and lived the Gospel Proved their faith (vv. 5, 6; James 2:15-17; 1 John 3:16-18) Sad to hear of Diotrephes (vv. 9, 10)

11 John Found Joy Become “fathers” and “mothers”
May have given up family (Mark 10:29, 30) Fill the emptiness in their heart

12 John Found Joy Paul-Timothy relationship
Many teachers, but one father (v. 15) Tremendous influence Watch them grow

13 John Found Joy Rob ourselves of joy
Not the “neighbor” we should be (Luke 10:25-37) Substitute knowledge for compassion Souls will be lost

14 Conclusion Know the joy? (John 4:35) Lay down your life?
Angels are ready to rejoice Shall we disappoint them?
