Good Friday morning! We endured a very windy day yesterday with lots of things flying through the air. The church and my house share something physical in common, both lost some shingles yesterday. The two places share much more than that in common... the love of Jesus lives in both places!
How difficult is it to endure? A couple of years ago, we had the privilege of watching the Colorado Rockies baseball team go on an amazing run to end their season. Unfortunately, their train ran out of steam in the World Series and almost as quickly as they rose, they were gone. That team can give you some idea of how difficult it is to endure to the end. If we depend upon our own strength, we may enjoy an amazing run of victories, some in this world do, but will we be able to endure to the end? About the most anyone can hope for is to endure to retirement. We need a greater strength to endure to the end of this life, and we are not even under a time of severe physical persecution like many are and have been in the past. Just getting through this life is difficult enough. Without the strength of our Lord and Savior, we are lost indeed. Trust in Jesus to bring you through to the end of this life and the beginning of the new life.
May God bless you in a special way on this Friday!
Your friend in Christ,
Bucky
