“What does Jesus teach us about the pursuit of happiness?”
The Bible doesn’t really use a word that is equal to the way we typically use the word “happiness” today. Instead, the Bible relies on the Greek word “chara,” which is usually translated as “joy.” Now the word “chara” comes from the word “charis,” which is translated as “grace” in English. This word chara, as it is used in the New Testament, is not a feeling we can create within ourselves. I believe that chara may be best explained as a state of “soul-satisfaction” that is given to us by and through God’s grace.
