“These things have I spoken unto you... that your joy might be full” (John 15:11).
There is nothing in common between the life of heaven and that of the world. It is not a question of prohibitions as to using this or that, but of having altogether other tastes, desires and joys. It is on this account that people imagine Christians are sad, for we do not enjoy the same things. The world does not know our joys; no unrenewed person can comprehend what renders the Christian happy.
