Rejoicing in the Lord Jesus in All Cases and Conditions: Together With Two Sermons, "the Hope of the Saints in Heaven" and "a Christian's Freedom from Condemnation in Christ" - Hardcover
Synopsis
"I’ve got a wonderful feeling. Everything’s going my way." These words from the famous musical, "Oklahoma!" describe the basis for the feelings of most people—they can be happy and rejoice when things are going their way, but not in all cases and conditions. In this book, the English Puritan Robert Asty reminds us that we are to rejoice in the Lord Jesus no matter what the circumstances are in which the Lord may place us.
We place too high a premium on the condition of our bodies, and therefore place too low a premium on the salvation of our souls. But the Apostle Paul commands believers to rejoice in all things. The Lord Jesus is the ground of joy, says Asty, if we have a saving interest in Christ. As in so many Puritan writings, this book contains an abundance of encouragement and hope for believers.
This book also contains two sermons that have not been included in any modern reprints. The sermons are on Colossians 1:5 and Romans 8:1.

About the Author
Robert Asty (1642-1681) was born in Stratford, England. He established a school at Dedham about the year 1663 where he taught for the next ten years. In 1668 he married Lydia Sammes and they bore seven children. Asty undertook the preaching ministry in 1672 and was called to the pastorate at Norwich in 1674 where he labored until his death on October 14, 1681.
This is his best known work. It was first published in 1683, then again in 1901 and 1990. This is a completely retypeset edition of the 1683 edition. Included are two additional sermons—"The Hope of the Saints in Heaven" and "A Christian’s Freedom from Condemnation in Christ."
