Sorrow Turns to Joy – John 16:16-24

In our sermon from John 16: 16-24, Jesus promises that the disciples’ upcoming sadness will turn into deep, lasting joy. He compares their grief to labor pains in childbirth—hard at first, but leading to a greater reward. When a person accepts Christ, he can experience that same eternal Joy found only in the person of Jesus.
