What’s unique about this passage is that it’s the only place where Jesus is said to have experienced joy. So this begs the question "what gives Jesus joy?" What Jesus explains in the verse prior to this passage is that two types of joy exist: Joy of this World and Joy of the Lord! So it is all about priorities and when you place them in the right order YOU give JESUS JOY! JOY: Jesus first, Others second, Yourself third.
