Enter Into the Joy

In Jesus’ parable of the talents, the good and faithful servants were told, “Well done . . . enter into the joy of thy lord” (Matthew 25:23). This parable was a parable of the kingdom of heaven into which you have entered. What the master said to the servants in the parable, your Master says to you here, “Enter into the joy of your Lord.” One of the foundational things to remember if you would be a joyful human is that joy of the saints is just like their righteousness, it is not their own. It is the joy of another in which they participate. 

God our Father delights in His Son and the Son delights in His Father and that mutual love between the Father and the Son is a Spirit of Love. The remarkable grace is that we have been born unto life by that love, washed by that love, convicted, helped, and comforted by that Spirit of love and joy. So as you come and welcome to Jesus Christ, do remember that you come and welcome to all that He is and all of His benefits. Here you receive the whole Christ and that is to enter into His everlasting joy. So come in faith and welcome to Jesus Christ.
