Joy, according to Hebrews 12:2, is the feeling of calm delight, exceedingly great gladness, or cheerfulness that enables the ability to persevere or remain under painful suffering and to abide and tarry in unfavorable circumstances in order to fulfill one's purpose.

The joy that was set before Jesus was all the people who would believe in Him and accept His sacrifice to pay the penalty for their sin. Jesus endured the cross, dis-esteemed the shame, and achieved His purpose to conquer death, hell, and the grave and to restore the relationship between God and humanity, because of the joy that was set before Him. His joy is available for His followers to enable them to endure the cross they must bear.
