Making Jesus Rejoice

In that same hour he [Jesus] rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.” (Luke 10:21)

This verse is one of the main two places in the Gospels where Jesus is said to rejoice. The seventy disciples have quite recently come back from their preaching visits and announced their success to Jesus.

Notice that each of the three individuals from the Trinity are cheering here: Jesus is celebrating, but it says he is cheering in the Holy Spirit. I interpret that as meaning that the Holy Spirit is filling him and moving him to rejoice. At that point toward the finish of the verse it portrays the joy of God the Father. The NIV deciphers it, "Truly, Father, for this is the thing that you were satisfied to do" — what you rejoiced to do!

Presently, would could it be that has the entire Trinity celebrating together in this place? It is the free, choosing affection for God to conceal things from the scholarly first class and to uncover them to angels. "I thank you, Father, Lord of paradise and earth, that you have concealed these things from the savvy and understanding and uncovered them to little youngsters."

Also, would could it be that the Father escapes a few and uncovers to others? Luke 10:22 gives the appropriate response, "Nobody knows who the Son is with the exception of the Father." So, what God the Father must uncover is the genuine otherworldly character of the Son.

At the point when the seventy disciples come back from their evangelistic mission and give their answer to Jesus, he and the Holy Spirit rejoice that God the Father has picked, as indicated by his own great joy — his own particular cheering — to uncover the Son to angels and to conceal him from the astute.

The purpose of this isn't there are just sure classes of individuals who are picked by God. The fact of the matter is that God is allowed to pick the most outlandish contender for his elegance.

God repudiates what human legitimacy may manage. He escapes the independent shrewd and uncovers to the most defenseless and unaccomplished.

At the point when Jesus sees the Father unreservedly illuminating and sparing individuals whose lone hope is free beauty, he celebrates in the Holy Spirit and enjoys his Father's race.
