After His resurrection in the gospels we read…
“The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.” (Jn 20:20)
After His ascended into heaven, they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy… (Luke 24:50-52
This is affirmed in other passages too…
“In Thy presence is fullness of joy!” (Ps. 16:11)
We know we will be with Him one day, but the great question that my friend Mel wrestled with is, “How can I grow in experiencing this fullness of joy now?” In this sense, joy in Jesus is “already”—absolutely guaranteed and secure; and “not yet”—we have a measure now, but we long to see it fully consummated when we see Him face to face!
