Chrisianity Is Worth It

Good Morning!! Although we will have tribulation, He has overcome the world. Although we will fall into various trials, we can count them a joy knowing that the trying of our faith is working patience in us. Although we will face tribulation, we glory in tribulation knowing that through our suffering the love of God will be shed abroad in our hearts.

Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?—1 Peter 3:13 (NIV)

At first glance, Peter's question may not seem to have an encouraging answer. After all, thousands of martyrs, including most of the apostles, discovered that there is great harm in the pathway of Christ. Hasn't every saint found that following Christ, leads to suffering for Christ? Didn't Christ Himself tell us repeatedly that it would be so? The answer of course to each of these questions is yes. Yet the same Jesus who warned us "they will persecute you" (John 15:20),...also promises us that "there shall not an hair of your head perish" (Luke 21:18).

 

Following Christ is the better way,...not the easier way.

 

Lord, help us today, to walk the path that You've laid before us without fear,...and teach us to count it all joy, as we go through. Amen.

 

"Christianity should be carried in our hearts like a song."
