We Are Workers with You for Your Joy

 (ID: GS891)

Duty-driven sacrifice for Jesus does not impress the world. Rather, our neighbors are moved when they see Christians rejoicing in tribulations. Speaking to men in ministry, John Piper encourages believers, and Christian leaders in particular, to seek joy in trials. Christ-oriented, faith-driven joy stays when everything else falls away, he reminds us, becoming the salt and light that draws unbelievers to Jesus Christ.
