“我把这些事告诉了你们，好让我的喜乐存在你们心里，并且使你们的喜乐满溢。(约翰福音 15:11)
These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. (John 15:11)
The overflowing joy of knowing Christ’s presence in our lives was one of the themes of Jesus’ final teaching with His disciples the night before He died on the cross. He told them of His extravagant love for them—that He loved them as the Father loved Him (John 15:9). After sharing what this eternal relationship looks like, Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full” (v.11).
What a promise! Through Jesus Christ our hearts can be filled with joy—real joy!
Lord,
You have chosen me and redeemed me,
crowned me with love and compassion.
I can do nothing less than overflow with joy at Your great love for me, for those I love, and for the world.
In every season of life we can know joy in Christ.
