The Relationship Between Joy And PainThe Lord’s joy is found in some strange places. The Early Christians rejoiced when they suffered for their faith.

“The Jews incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecutions against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them from their region.

Question 13 of 16
13. Question
It has been said that in the Early Church, joy was considered the distinguishing characteristic of the Christian. How would we fare if others judged our Christianity by the amount of joy we experience?
Sometimes we are aware of the joy we have. I remember how as a younger Christian when circumstances seemed very black to me, I would look deep down inside me to see if I could discover any trace of joy.
Surprisingly enough, I could usually find it — a little bubbling spring buried deeply under the debris of self-pity and anxiety I had allowed to cover it.
Hindrances to Joy
Because joy is a characteristic in short supply in many lives and because it is a fruit God wants to produce in us, let’s spend some time looking at the greatest symptom of unbelief or lack of faith — grumbling and complaining.
Complaining to or about God goes all the way back to the Fall when Adam blamed God for giving Eve to him. Following each scripture, tell the reason for the people’s complaints.
The Scripture: Exodus 15:22-24
“Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah.) So the people grumbled against Moses saying, ‘What are we to drink?”
