Blessed Are The Joy Bombs

Blessed Be The Joy Bombs Indeed

Greetings & Blessings Faithful Followers of Team MissionAccess Worldwide!  Methinks there are those amongst us who could use a little encouragement right now: can I get a witness? (Yeah, ME! You too?) So come along with me as we light the flame of faith to ignite a Joy Bomb for Our Awesome Savior’s glory with the help of Tauren Wells from his latest book “Joy Bomb:  Unleash Jesus’s Explosive Joy For An Extraordinary Life.”

But first let’s look at what Jesus had to say in His very first sermon, which we refer to as the Sermon on the Mount found in Matthew 5: 3-12.  In this age of “influencers,” His list of Beatitudes (from the Latin word “beatus,” meaning blessed or happy) may sound a bit strange to us today:

• Blessed are:  the poor in spirit…
  are they who mourn…
• the meek…they who hunger and thirst for righteousness…
  the merciful…
  the clean in heart…
  the peacemakers who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness…

Wait, what?!! Who signed up for that?  Well if you profess to be a Christian, YOU did! But here’s the deal Good Peeps:  Joy Bombs abound when we anchor our faith not in this world but in our Awesome Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

In His Accessible Grace,

Linda
