Every time we think of suffering and affliction that we may encounter in
this life, if we would just take a moment and meditate upon what the
Scripture says of the promise of victory ahead for those who trust in what
Jesus did for us, the problems we face would pale in comparison to the joy
we will one day experience when we look upon the One Who gave Himself
for us that we may rejoice forever in His presence. Jesus took all our sin,
pain, and misery that we rightly deserve, laying down His life for us and
taking it up again. He could only do that by the will of God our Father and
the authority given Him in the power invested in the plan of salvation that
God Himself had given that we may be reconciled to Himself. Despite
every obstacle of thinking that tries to explain it away of the Resurrection
of Jesus Christ our Lord, there is no plausible theory that can match to the
real truth that “Jesus Is Risen!” (Matthew 28:6; Mark 16:6; Luke 24:6;
John 20:19-20) It gives us great peace to know the truth and live by faith
in that truth that by that magnificent grace our pitiful condition of human
frailness of thinking can be turned into a powerful testimony of what God
can do with a life changed by the power of His divine Word upon our hearts.
It is an individual matter to accept; but, as one accepts, we have a common
bond of love bestowed upon us that gives us a fellowship together in an
inheritance far greater that any earthly one. By His Spirit upon our lives,
that Holy Spirit given inside brings the deepest peace and the most
wonderful blessing that we could ever receive. All of this does not end
end with just receiving Him into our hearts. We are to live in Him in the
obedience of His Word with all the love He gives, we are to show forth,
and put forth to tell of the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ our
Lord and Savior. It will be worth it all for someday we will behold His
Glory and live and reign with Him forever! Watch “Will You Believe and
Stand Fast?”, and be transformed by the love of what Jesus has done.
