As Jesus was preparing for his death, He told the disciples that they would grieve for a little while, but then they would rejoice. The joy that Jesus gives to His disciples is an everlasting joy that the world cannot take away.
Anyone can claim to be a follower of Jesus, but Jesus gave us a way to measure whether or not our faith is real. If we truly have placed our faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior, then we WILL bear fruit.
