Extract: Happiness

“If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I... go unto the Father.” Inasmuch as He has exercised love to us, He associates us with Himself, and expects us to rejoice in His happiness. What a place to give us: to be able to say, “I am happy because He is glorified;” our hearts satisfied that Christ, who has loved us and made us happy, is contented! We see Him in the glory due to Him, and we are satisfied. He expects us to be glad in His happiness!
