JOY [CHARA]
Matthew 2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced
exceedingly with great joy. (O how we need to have
this mindset every day! Do it Lord! Amen)
Matthew 13:20 "The one on whom seed was sown on
the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word
and immediately receives it with joy;
Note that a "good" [glad] start does not assure a
good finish! (Read the sad end - Mt 13:21)
Henry Morris comments on the phrase with
joy. The hearer's response is emotional, rather than
knowledgeably volitional. He hears what seems to
be a happy release from his troubles and fears, and
so receives Christ immediately and joyfully. But
there is no root--or foundation--for his purely
experiential faith. He feels good about it for a while,
but salvation does not come through feelings.
(Defender's Study Bible)
