Pastor Jack explores the response of rejoicing that should flow from experiencing joy in the Lord. Drawing from Mary’s Magnificat in Luke 1, he teaches that rejoicing is “re-joying”-responding to the joy God has birthed in us through expression and expansion. He explains that rejoicing serves three vital functions: it verifies what God has promised us, edifies and strengthens us when we feel we’re falling short, and testifies to the joy of Christ Himself, who endured the cross “for the joy set before Him.”
