Jesus being happy on earth?
WhoAmI:
Now little kiddies we are heading off to church. You will need to sit very still and say nothing. :P
Of course Jesus was happy, he spoke up! Jesus wasn't a good little church boy.

Joh 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
Joh 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy (G5479) might remain in you and that your joy might be full.
G5479

Hi Anthony,
We know that Jesus was filled with the spirit and one of the fruits of the spirit is joy.
Gal 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control...
He was perfect, so He would have been well rounded in all the fruits of the spirit. Now we can not tell what His mood or emotions were by the written word usually. But I am inclined to believe that He was a happy and joyful person. We know that Jesus loves people and it says He loved John (John 20:2) and how can you have love in your heart and not be joyful. But they loved Him as well and I don't think it was just because they belived He was the son of God. You have to believe that He shared happy times with the disciples and even had fun with them, besides all the serious stuff.
Luke 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.
mercy, peace and love

I agree with everything you have said and it is true we have to believe He did have happy times with HIs disciples and probably many other times, but even when He rejoiced, this was in spirit and that doesnt necessarily mean this was expressed outwardly.
There are many verses showing His emotions of the opposite, but really only that verse in Luke may be where He may have expressed happiness outwardly.

Oh i can think of many ways this can be. I went back and listened to Rays audio on love and can see how this can be applied also.

Anthony,
Only a completely carnal mind would still believe that rejoicing in The Spirit is somehow less than
any physical joy; you Anthony are not completely carnal. You already know the answer to your
question so you should, if still confused; go back and contemplate where is that spirit of doubt
coming from. Guard your thoughts with The Scriptures Brother;
Jesus Christ Said:
John 5:39:
Ye search the Scriptures, because, ye, think, by them, to have, life age-abiding; and, those Scriptures , are they which bear witness concerning me:
John 6:63:
It is the spirit that vivifies; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning
John 10:30 I and my Father are one
John 17:21-22 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
