Day 25: Joy in Sorrow



This post is part of a 31-day series.



"...sorrowful yet always rejoicing."

2 Corinthians 6:10


Now what on earth does that mean, "sorrowful yet rejoicing"?


John Piper addresses this question in his article "Is There Good Anxiety?"  He basically explains it using the paradigm of a narrow lens versus a broad lens.  We may be sorrowful about this narrow circumstance; yet joyful over the whole panorama of eternity.


“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace.  In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33
