Many promises for Christians will appear ludicrous to those not following Jesus. Case in point: Peter promises that Christ's disciples are "filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy."
Christians find within themselves joy and hope where it should be forbidden. When those close to us die, when we hear the scary word "cancer," when we loose our job, et al., joy should be forbidden.
But then the mysterious presence of the Holy Spirit in each Christian's life breathes joy and hope to their heart, mind and soul. It is inexpressible. It is glorious. It really should not be there. But it is.
