The Most Happy of Men

How can a Christian find greater happiness and blessedness in keeping the commandments of God; more than anything that they have ever attained to, in pursuing self and sin? The truth is; that a Christian will find greater happiness and blessedness in keeping God’s commandments because Jesus Christ lived, and He died, in order to make this great change in the lives of all the sinners who are trusting in Him for salvation. For as He was the most holy of men, Jesus Christ was also the most blessed of men. He was more happy than any man, because He obeyed God’s commands fully, and with all of His heart. To be blessed is to be truly happy in a holy sense. Now we come to the table this afternoon, remembering His perfect obedience, and ourselves seeking to learn how we can keep all of God’s commandments. If we seek Him with all of our heart, we will find the truth of the reality of the blessings of His grace in our obedience. There is truth in the reality of Christ’s being happy to obey God which will also come to be ours, because of His grace. This truth we will consider in 3 points before we partake of the Supper.
