A popular axiom in our world today says, ‘pursue your happiness.’ That may sound good on the surface but consider where that leads.

There is a privilege of knowing Jesus and a responsibility to obey him. A disciple of Jesus is someone who chooses to remain connected to him, grow in producing fruit in their lives, and find true joy from practicing what Jesus taught. Jesus said, “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.” He invites every person to pursue Jesus and find joy.
