Joy Rooted in Hope
Commentators explain that the joy mentioned is not based on circumstances but on a confident hope in God's promises. For Jesus, it was the assurance of his coming resurrection and victory over death. For believers, this serves as a model: our trust in God's care and the future resurrection can bring profound joy and peace, even in the midst of life's trials.
