Thinking on Scripture - Joy

Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)

²Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

John 17:13 (NIV)

¹³"I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them.

John 16:22-24 (KJV)

²²And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
