Conventional wisdom says that joy is a direct result of circumstance.  Our disposition is nothing more than a product of the events,  conditions, and relationships of which our life consists. Therefore, it  would seem that for our disposition to change, our circumstances need to  change. But Jesus offers us a joy that is superior. It is not a product  of circumstance; it's a product of Easter. Easter proves that God can  take what normally causes people to weep and turn it into what causes  people to rejoice. Sin, death, and shame went into Jesus' tomb.  Forgiveness, life, and glory came out. Our risen Savior gives us a joy  that remains constant in the highest of life's highs and the lowest of  life's lows. It is a joy that can never be taken from us
