"Joy"?



"For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame,
and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."


---Hebrews 12:2


What does "joy" mean in this context?
Christians often talk about Christ's suffering, but rarely about his happiness or his joy.
I think there is a key to the Christian faith in understanding the role of joy in God's salvation history.

Joy is an intricate part of the Christian experience,
not something that we discard or ignore.
