Be Happy, Christian!

At age 17, Jonathan Edwards wrote his first sermon, titled Christian Happiness. The basic message was very simple: Christians should be happy.

Why so? Edwards expounded on his premise with three points:

Point 1: Our bad things will turn out for good.

Point 2: Our good things can never be taken away from us.

Point 3: The best things are yet to come.

That's a pretty good outline for a teenager! You can read the entire sermon here.
