Sermon for Easter 4. The Scripture readings are Lamentations 3:22-33; 1 John 3:1-3; and John 16:16-22.

Your sorrows and sufferings in this life are not trivial, but neither are they eternal. Jesus says, \u201cYou have sorrow, but your sorrow will turn into joy. And you will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you\u201d (Jn. 16:20, 22). That\u2019s Jesus\u2019 promise.
