What does the Bible say about the joy of Jesus in salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible records only one instance of Jesus rejoicing, which is when souls are converted to Him.

In Luke 10:21-24, we find the rare moment when Jesus rejoiced in spirit, specifically in relation to the conversion of souls. This joy stemmed from the reception of the Gospel by the humble and lowly, contrasting the obstinate rejection by the wise and prudent. Jesus’ heart was refreshed when He witnessed a few poor souls receiving the glad tidings of salvation amidst widespread blindness and unbelief. This teaches us to cherish every conversion, recognizing it as a miracle of grace, and to find joy even when the majority remain in darkness.
