We need the sprightly, fruitful life of joy. This Paul holds out before the Philippians, that they through Christ in God might have the ever-existing ground for joy. Not apart from God, in us ourselves, or in mankind or in things, should we seek joy; it must arise out of God himself, because Jesus has connected us with God, and with him we find joy in every circumstance.
