Even throughout the trying times Jesus had experienced, and those that he was about to experience; he kept a continual theme amongst those his followers. That they would remain in his Joy. Understanding that without this vital and necessary ingredient, they would soon dry up and begin to wither away. But the powerful force of Joy brings with it the staying power, the persevering power, the acceleration power, the remaining power.
So he says to you today, “be of good cheer I have overcome the world!” John 16:33b
John 15:11
11 I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.
