“These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” - John 15:11 (ESV)
Have we ever taken time to consider that our God is a Happy God and why He has so much joy?. These words Jesus was saying to his disciples, just prior to His arrest which lead to his execution by crucifixion. It is nearly impossible to imagine Jesus, knowing what was soon to happen experienced joy and was wishing His joy to fill his disciples. God the Father was allowing His One and Only Son to be lead to the cross to die. He so loved the world that He gave us Jesus and the result of His gift is our opportunity for salvation. God's happiness was the foundation of His delight in what was happening and what it meant to the world. That was what He was so Happy about, the worst thing imaginable would bring the best thing possible for us. That was His joy and should be our joy if we know now why it all had to happen.
