Jesus answers the question how can I be happy in a very odd, peculiar way. He challenges us to consider that if life your life never got better from this moment forward; if your situation didn’t improve; your marital status didn’t change; your career didn’t progress; your body didn’t feel better; could you still be happy with life? Ironically, none of the things that we think bring about happiness, happened to Jesus. In fact, what happened to Jesus, are some of our worst fears! Single for his entire life, never owned a home, abandoned by His closest friends, grossly misunderstood and yet despite all of these 'misfortunes', He had joy. This is Jesus’ guide to happiness.
