What does the Bible say about Jesus rejoicing?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus rejoiced in Luke 10:21, thanking the Father for revealing the truth to simple believers while hiding it from the wise.

In Luke 10:21, we find the only instance in the New Testament where Jesus is described as rejoicing. He rejoices in spirit and gives thanks to the Father for the hidden truths revealed to 'babes' instead of the 'wise and prudent'. This moment captures the essence of Christ’s recognition of God's sovereign grace in choosing whom to reveal the gospel, indicating that spiritual understanding is not reliant on human wisdom but on divine revelation.
