Hook: How did a person or situation rob you of your joy recently?

Book: When Jesus saw the disciples’ uneasiness with His predictions about future events, He used the example of the pain and joy of childbirth to bring them comfort. Soon their pain at the Cross would be replaced with the joy of the Resurrection. Jesus knew that when they saw Him again their questions would be answered and emotions restored. Your hope of seeing Jesus one day can shape your perspective on the ups and downs in life. No question will remain unanswered then.

Took: If your questions will be answered and your pains forgotten when you see Jesus, how should you treat them until then?
