Episode 48 -- Imitation of Christ III.10 -- Finding Joy in the Lord’s Service

What does Our Lord promise us even in this life?

Joy. In this reading, Thomas a Kempis explains why there is joy in the Lord's service. I came, Christ said, that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete. The labours and service we offer Christ is not drudgery. There is a spiritual joy, a resting in the good, that he promises his friends.
