The Joy of Repentance

True, lasting joy is only possible because of the true, biblical Christmas. Pastor Dudley Rutherford shares from the accounts in Mark 1 and Luke 1 of John the Baptist that without repentance, there can never be true joy. John the Baptist had an unusual diet, an unusual look, and an unusual message—a message of repentance. Repentance is a difficult message because we choose to live in sin. However, rightful repentance—turning away from sin and turning towards Jesus—puts you on the road to restoration, and it results in rejoicing!
