day no. 15,385: the way, the truth and the life of the party

Psalm 16:11
You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

God is not an ol' fashioned fuddy, duddy, fun-hater. He is the life of the party. Quite literally. You may have seen the classic church billboard saying, "No Jesus, No peace, Know Jesus, Know Peace." That is true, but it is also true enough to say, "No Jesus. No party. Know Jesus. Know Party!" 

The path of life leads back to God.
The presence of His person is fullness of joy. (Acts 3:19)
The place at His right hand overflows with everlasting pleasures.

And who sits at God's right hand? 
Jesus.

(Matthew 22:44, Acts 2:33, Acts 7:55-56, Romans 8:34, Ephesians 1:20, Colossians 3:1, Hebrews 1:3, Hebrews 8:1, Hebrews 10:12, 1 Peter 3:22, Revelation 3:21)

Jesus is the life of the party in whom all things were created and all things are sustained. He gives life and sustains life and the life He produces and upholds is abundant, vibrant, enjoyable to everlasting.

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life of the party.
