Alma 27-29

I call these the "JOY" Chapters. In these chapters we find the true source of Joy. Lasting JOY comes not because we have finally obtained the perfect life or circumstance and not because we have finally achieved great status or accomplishment. JOY comes through Jesus Christ.

J - Jesus

O - the redemption of Others

Y - the redemption of YOU

When we focus on Jesus Christ and His characteristics, when we love others and truly desire their redemption, when we open our eyes and finally grasp that through Jesus Christ we can be saved and that everything will be ok when He is our partner - we experience JOY!
