Even in the midst of sorrow and disappointment, we are always rejoicing in God's goodness and grace. Jesus was a man of sorrows, but it was not disappointment about himself. It was disappointment in relation to others.

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03.360 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06.420 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09.760 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12.860 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible. Thanks.
00:00:19.620 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:22.360 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:25.380 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:30.000 Jesus, I believe the scripture teaches that Jesus, even in his incarnation, even in his earthly
00:00:35.920 ministry, was a happy person. Now I am aware of the scriptures that say that he was acquainted
00:00:42.640 with grief and a man of sorrows. So certainly Jesus experienced sorrow, but even in relation
00:00:49.680 to Jesus' sorrow, it was not sorrow about himself. Jesus wasn't disappointed with himself. He wasn't
00:00:56.700 frustrated with his own deficiencies or his own lack because he has no lack. Even in his earthly
00:01:03.940 ministry, he is the sinless son of God. And so his frustration, his sorrows that Isaiah speak of in
00:01:11.700 Isaiah chapter 53, the sorrow of Christ is ultimately in relation to his love for his own
00:01:19.960 triune self, his love for his father. And the fact that the people, this fallen world that
00:01:26.340 surrounds him are in rebellion to the father. Jesus is often grieved or troubled in spirit,
00:01:33.720 but even in his troubledness, it is in relation to the unbelief of his disciples, the unbelief
00:01:40.720 of the crowds who he's preaching to. So Jesus' disappointment is ultimately in relation to
00:01:47.360 others. And even in the midst of this disappointment, as the scripture says elsewhere,
00:01:51.620 The Apostle Paul says that we as Christians, when we're shaped more and more into the image
00:01:56.540 of Christ, we are still sorrowful at this time in this life, and yet in the midst of
00:02:02.900 sorrow, always rejoicing.
00:02:05.640 Rejoicing because even in the midst of sorrowful circumstances, sorrowful surroundings, sorrowful
00:02:12.140 situations, we have this rejoicing in the end game, in the ultimate reality that we
00:02:20.780 trust and hope for and anticipate, which is that we are going to be with God forevermore and that
00:02:28.200 he himself will wipe away every tear. There will be no more mourning. There will be no more sadness.
00:02:33.580 There will be no more death, no more sickness, no more disease, no more loss, that we will be
00:02:38.920 completely filled with joy and peace and satisfaction in God forever. And so even in
00:02:45.900 midst of sorrowful circumstances, we have sorrow and yet we are always rejoicing. And so my point
00:02:52.500 in all this is to say that at a human level, so much of our own frustration and disappointment
00:02:58.800 and sadness is in relation to the fact that we don't have any true perfections. We are imperfect.
00:03:05.900 We are fallen. And yet God is perfect. And so it only makes sense that God would be constantly and
00:03:14.300 continually and forever, eternally celebrating and experiencing nothing but pleasure in his own
00:03:21.920 self. Big news. Really big news. Our next Right Response Conference is in the works. We've got
00:03:29.600 a number of things already lined up and organized. This is what we've got so far. The whole conference
