For the redemption of Joy

As sin, shame and sorrow rocked through Adam and Eve's souls, it was only an echo of the heart breaking sorrow that pierced the Son and the Father. For with one look, they both knew the Son would go Fatherless and the Father go Sonless for the sake of the redemption of joy.
 ...
But now that the only begotten Son has been joined to me in inseparable union, I now live out my sanctification out of the extravagant overflow of this grace from the Son's relationship to the Father and the Father to the Son. I am now the most favored and blessed man on the face of the earth. There can be no greater favor than what the Father shows to the Son and we receive all that favor because we are now Christ's body. 

- Jerome Grosskopf
