About this listen
Have you ever noticed that those who have experienced great suffering, are also those who often seem to have a greater capacity for joy? Those who have wept bitterly, are often those same ones who laugh most sincerely. Perhaps there is some nugget of this truth being revealed as Jesus looks to John, the life he led and tells us "yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. In the 3rd week of Advent we light the Candle of Joy. We take joy in the nearness of Christ. But, joy breaks in not by eliminating pain or doubt, but by transforming it. Even John questions Jesus, and Jesus calls him great. Joy grows in wilderness soil.
