I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
-- John 15:11
I am grateful for 4 powerful words of Christmas -- their Advent teaches me to wait.
Joy is one that seems more...elusive, harder to grasp. What does it mean to know joy? Even more, what does it mean to know it completely? This was Jesus' desire. Something really powerful going on...powerful enough that he would die in order to realize it with us:
Fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross...
-- Hebrews 12:2
