"At the point when a lady is conceiving an offspring, she has distress since her hour has come, however when she has conveyed the infant, she never again recalls the anguish, for satisfaction that a person has been naturally introduced to the world." (John 16:21)
There is all the more going ahead in this "different method of expression" than the undeniable reality that the delight of birth takes after the torments of work. That is valid and noteworthy. In the first place torment, at that point delight. It will be valid for Jesus and the pupils in the following three days.
Be that as it may, work torments don't simply go before a Take; they create a kid. It's not as if there are work torments, and afterward appropriate on plan a stork flies through the window with a child. The infant doesn't simply come behind the work torments. The child stops by methods for the work torments.
So it is with this new delight on the opposite side of Jesus' passing. The work torments of the mother in this "more interesting methods of expression" allude not simply to the vanishing of Jesus ("you will see me never again"), yet to the bothers of Jesus. Not simply to his separating, but rather to his agony. Thusly, the delight on the opposite side isn't simply coming behind that torment; it is dropping by methods for it. The torment of Jesus on the cross did not simply go before the new celebrating; it delivered it.
Jesus stresses this by the wording he utilizes as a part of verse 20. He says, "Your distress will transform into euphoria." He doesn't state your distress "will be supplanted with bliss," yet truly "will move toward becoming delight." Henry Alford puts it like this: "Not simply changed for happiness, but rather changed into so as itself to end up — so the extremely matter of anguish might end up matter of satisfaction; as Christ's Cross of disgrace has turned into the brilliance of the Christian, Galatians 6:14"
"The child doesn't simply come behind the work torments. The child drops by methods for the work torments."
From where we remain on this side of the cross and the restoration, how the miseries of the cross really turn into our happiness is all the more plain. The sufferings of Christ evacuate our transgression and God's rage, and convey us to God and delight. "Christ additionally languished once over sins . . . that he may convey us to God" (1 Peter 3:18), and "in your quality there is completion of satisfaction" (Psalm 16:11). > "Through him [that is, his sufferings] we have additionally acquired access by confidence into this beauty in which we stand, and we celebrate in any desire for the eminence of God" (Romans 5:2).
So when Jesus says that after the introduction of a tyke, a mother "never again recalls the anguish, for satisfaction that a person has been naturally introduced to the world," he implies that the work torments have been changed from recollected anguish into carriers of euphoria. So it is with Jesus' distresses and their consequences for the devotees. Jesus needed them to know this early to balance out their delight: All this distress "will transform into bliss" (John 16:20).
There is one all the more shocking thing Jesus says in regards to their bliss that should make them sufficiently stable to climate the coming tempest of Good Friday. The tyke destined to this lady in the "more interesting methods of expression" speaks to Jesus after the revival. Furthermore, Jesus, after the restoration, would never kick the bucket. "Christ, being raised from the dead, will never kick the bucket again" (Romans 6:9). At the point when the work agonies of death bring forth life, that life is everlasting.
This implies the delight Jesus guarantees is unfading euphoria. "I will see you once more, and your hearts will cheer, and nobody will take your bliss from you" (John 16:22). This indestructible happiness is on account of "I will see you once more." I will become alive once again. I will be alive and with you, by my Spirit, until the end of time. Your bliss can't be taken from you since I won't be taken from you. I am your bliss (John 15:11; 17:13). "I won't abandon you as vagrants; I will come to you" (John 14:18).
