2 Chronicles 30:21 And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the Lord day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the Lord.
Hezekiah, the priests, the Levites, and the people celebrated the great renewed Passover Feast and the seven day feast of unleavened bread with great gladness. There was much joy among the worshippers, so much that they praised the Lord with singing and instruments. It would have a sight to behold and a wonderful experience to participate in. The great gladness and loud praise is the response of faith and thankfulness for the awesome goodness of God.
This kind of exultant joy and praise should be our everyday attitude of the heart. And it is our response weekly as we go to church to hear the Gospel and remember His death for us in the Lord’s Supper. In the deepest sense, there no greater joy that we can get from the world than the spiritual joy of the Lord and our salvation. Our weekly celebration of the Passover Lamb brings great gladness to the heart. Whether we feel it in our emotions or not, the uplift of our spirit is life-giving and the inner joy of the Lord is for us great strength.
