" These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you;" He had no joy from the world. He had perfect joy in the Father. His joy was in bringing forth fruit to the Father's glory. He is thus showing to us how in fruit-bearing we can have joy and blessedness down here. " That your joy might be full." That is what He wants us to have-fullness of joy: and it is not from the world, but the kind of joy He had. It is His desire that we should have His own joy.
