About This Quote
The Christian faith teaches that Christ is our teacher, but that God’s joy is not only that he sees us faithful to him, but that he sees us happy. This idea of God’s joy in seeing us happy is called the doctrine of the “joy of the Lord.” The doctrine is based on the first few chapters of the Gospel of John. In these chapters, Jesus tells his disciples how much he loves them and how much he rejoices over their faithfulness.
