In Acts 2, Peter preached the first apostolic sermon at Pentecost. Full of the Holy Spirit, he asserted three times the happiness of the one at the center of the gospel—Jesus. Yet how many people, unbelievers and believers alike, have ever heard a modern gospel message that makes this point? Jesus was and is the happiest of people. What if we regularly declared the happiness of our Savior? Imagine the response if we emphasized that what Jesus did on that terrible cross was for the sake of never-ending happiness—ours and his.
Since Jesus is happy, His disciples should follow Him happily. A Happy New You is one who meditates on the happiness of the Savior. A Happy New You is happy like Jesus.
