What is our Sabbath joy? We are gifted to enter God’s delight in spite of the debris of death. Our joy is in celebrating that love is stronger than death; and the madness of God is saner than the wisdom of man. Joy is in being a drink offering, poured out to give life. Death not only doesn’t win; death becomes the only framework for freedom. Our heartache is a drama that tells not only our story, but also the story of the death and resurrection.
