Fourth Sunday of Easter – Jubilate
30 April 2023
Those Who Wait on the Lord Shall Rejoice
The people of God are pilgrims and sojourners in this world, looking ahead to a destination yet to come (1 Peter 2:11â20). Though we are now children of God, the fullness of what we shall be has not yet been revealed (1 John 3:1â3). We are those who wait on the Lord. âThe Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks himâ (Lam. 3:25). Jesus tells us that the wait is just a little while. âA little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see meâ (John 16:16). Though you must experience sorrow for a time, though you must live as strangers in a world that is at enmity with Christ, yet your sorrow will be turned to joy when He returns. âBut they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strengthâ (Is. 40:31). The little while of weeping shall be replaced with an eternity of rejoicing in the presence of Christ the crucified and risen Savior. âAnd no one will take your joy from youâ (John 16:22).
