Calvin’s commentary on “that your joy may be full” from John 15:11:
“These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that
your joy might be full.”:
He adds, that this joy
will be solid and full; not that
believers will be entirely free from all sadness, but that the ground for joy
will be far greater, so that no dread, no anxiety, no grief, will swallow them
up; for those to whom it has been given to glory in Christ will not be
prevented, either by life, or by death, or by any distresses, from bidding
defiance to sadness.
