Hope in Endurance

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope. Romans 15:4

We are an odd lot, these ones who believe in Jesus and His word. In a time of bad news, we turn to the good news. When things get tough and news of separations come, we are encouraged in Christ and in our endurance taught by His word. We are lifted up when we should be down for all time. The more difficulties we face, the more God hears His scriptures being spoken in the heart of those who believe. Paul from a prison cell wrote: Rejoice in the Lord always, again I will say, 'Rejoice!' What an odd duck! And yet, as we grow in Christ, we come to understand how Paul could endure and be encouraged in the hope we have in Jesus Christ.

And in what you have endured this week, be encouraged in Christ Jesus!
