God's Joyful Love for His People

The central message is God's profound joy in His people. Commentators emphasize this is not mere acceptance, but the ecstatic delight of a bridegroom for his bride. This powerful image reveals God's deep, personal, and affectionate love for the church. As one scholar notes, if the Lord rejoices over us, we should rejoice in His service.
