Thoughts: Godward
The path to gospel joy is one I try to make into a shortcut. I was telling Scott yesterday that humility is what I need to walk that path, because it's one thing to desire gospel joy, another thing to know what God requires of us in gospel joy, and another thing entirely to actually walk in such a way as to rejoice in the gospel. Why? Often, the Christian life requires putting sin to death, and this, in and of itself, requires humbling oneself, or as the Puritans said, "humiliation." This word makes me shudder, and it should; humiliation is painful, for it involves the loving discipline of the Father, and such discipline is not pleasant, yet it does yield the peaceful fruit of righteousness in time -- at least, that's what the author of Hebrews says. There's no shortcut when it comes to humiliation, is there?
