There is a teaching in the Christian church that suggests believers in Christ should only experience brightness and laughter. In this series looking at the life of Joseph we discover that such a perspective is neither true to the biblical record, nor to human experience. There is joy in following Jesus but it is not found in isolation from the troubles of life. In this series we shall see clearly that Christians grieve, too. We will discover a biblical framework for dealing with affliction, trial, and disappointment.
