What is it that brings you true joy? Have you ever thought about that? Jesus rejoices that your names are written in heaven. In fact in heaven there is rejoicing over one sinner who repents! For Jesus, the joy of your names written in heaven meant first being accused of being demon-possessed.
It meant rejection by the people He grew up with. It meant nails. It meant whipping. It meant crucifixion and death. But the joy . . . the joy that your name would be written in heaven made it worth every taunt, every mock, every stroke of the whip, every hammer upon nails penetrating through skin and flesh, and every moment in the cold, dark grave.
The joy that you would be with Him. And not just now, but forever.
