Joy and love are the purpose of the incarnation. Jesus was born into the world so that we might know the Joy of God and so that our Joy might be made complete. Joy in the midst of our struggles, the hurt we’ve inherited and the hurt we have created, being slowly and fully healed by Creator as we step into relationship with the love we were made from and made for.
If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love, any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others. Let the same mind be in you that was* in Christ Jesus,
Philippians 2:1-8
who, though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be exploited,
but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
being born in human likeness.
And being found in human form,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.
