John 16:22
‘Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.’
Here, Jesus is speaking to His disciples, after they had learned of what was going to happen to Him.
The joy that was taken in the first garden, that was replaced by fear and shame, would return at the hands of Jesus.
This time, no one would be able to take it away. He would ensure that we would receive a ‘joyous blessing instead of mourning’ as was promised in the prophecy of Isaiah.
The joy that was taken in the first garden, that was replaced by fear and shame, would come back to us through Jesus. This time, no one would be able to take it away.
He would make sure that we would receive a ‘joyous blessing instead of mourning’ as was promised in the verses we read on day 14.
