Leaping for Joy
By Greg Chandler October 4, 2026- Jesus’ pronouncement of woes upon the rich, those who laugh, and those who are well-liked might cause panic among modern upper-middle-class Christians. Could He actually mean that such things as these are bad? Maybe. In Luke’s recounting of the Beatitudes, he pairs these characteristics of flourishing people with contrasts regarding those who find their pleasure elsewhere. Sitting in the midst of this powerful section of teaching is a call for joy. This sermon will delve into this text with the goal of determining how the level of joy that brings one to leap can be found in Jesus Christ.
