Title:
William H. Willimon - "Have a Happy Day" (March 23, 1986)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 33:29. Sermon end time: (Part 2) 3:15.

  • Our culture pursues happiness. The preacher wonders if Christians are supposed to do the same in daily life. Reflecting on the passage where Jesus was welcomed as a king into Jerusalem and only a few days later he sent out of Jerusalem as a criminal, the preacher argues that it’s better for Christians to feel the pain of the world and unhappy with the status quo, because we live in the state of “already-not-yet”, a state in the tension of what things are and what things ought to be.
