Joy set before him endured the cross - Hebrews 12:2-3
Jesus was a joyful person; even at the cross - at the cross it seemed that everything was going wrong
Yet joy joy was still in the heart of Jesus:
When we try to take over God's role - there is no joy
Jesus prayed for his disciples to have the full measure of his joy - John 17:13
Even the violent scene of the cross brought about joy and hope
What will you allow to steal your joy?
