In Christ, we are given the opportunity to have a holy laughter, joy that is rooted in what Christ has already done, is doing, and will do for us.

Text: Psalm 126


Psalm 126 shifts its focus to a point of joy. There are five points in the Psalm where the author talks about rejoicing, gladness, and laughter. We get this sense of utter, even unbelievable excitement in the life the the Psalmist.


However, there's also an interesting tension as we move into the second part of the Psalm, where the Psalmist pleads for a total restoration. In the overwhelming Joy, the Psalmist leaves room for lamenting and longing for something even better. The Psalmist points us to the reality that we can experience utter joy in Christ, even as we lament the fallenness of this world and long for a day when all will be made right and all who are in Christ will come with joy.
