Joy in the Face of Loss
Commentators are struck by the believers' joyful reaction to having their property plundered. John Calvin explains this wasn't joy in the suffering itself, but a spiritual joy that came from knowing their true treasure was secure. Their focus on a "better and enduring" heavenly possession was so strong that it overshadowed the pain of earthly loss, allowing them to count it a privilege to suffer for Christ.
