“But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.” John 17:13 (NASB)
The night before Jesus was crucified and died he expressed in prayer what he wanted for His disciples and for all who would become believers in Him. His prayer fills the whole chapter 17 in the Gospel of John. Jesus asked His Father for a few things for His followers. Our verse gives the reason – he wanted all to have the full measure of His joy in our hearts. This desire is still there. God wants you and I to be filled with His joy and even on that night we can believe and understand that Jesus was praying on our behalf as well as if we were at that same place. Reach out and receive His joy, the fullness of His joy in yourselves. He has promised it to you and that is as good as you having it.
