“Despite the benefits that can be gained by wisdom, or the difficulty gained by folly, some things are outside of the control of both, namely death. Death is the one established reality you can’t control.”

-Pastor Josh Blevins

A time is coming when those who are afflicted for the sake of Christ will be comforted, and those who trouble the church will be afflicted by God. Now is the time to find peace with God through His Son before He returns to judge the world in righteousness.

We often think that God and His justice have abandoned us when we suffer for His name or experience tribulations in this life. Paul reminds us that God has not forsaken us but is actually preparing us for His return and everlasting kingdom.

While failure is inevitable, it doesn’t have to be the defining characteristic of our lives or eternity. The victory of Jesus over the grave has conquered our failures and provided a living hope for every person who chooses to walk in His victory.
