” DEAR CHILDREN, IT IS VERY HARD TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD. ” MARK 10:24
” Then who in the world can be saved?” THEY ASKED. JESUS LOOKED AT THEM INTENTLY AND SAID, “humanly speaking it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.” MARK 10: 26 & 27
Our Lord never promised that after receiving him as our Lord and Savior that our lives would be a bed of roses. Jesus could not have made it any clearer about the troubles his children would face in this life. However, there was a saving grace. His birth into this world, the persecution and the ridicule he endured while he was on this earth, his death on the cross and then his resurrection to be seated on the right hand of God in heaven. All of this took place so that you and I could overcome and live with strength, joy and peace in him. So that we could enter his Kingdom, spotless and clean, due to his forgiveness. With faith we are able to overcome our troubles. We are able to overcome every mountain that we face. But how is that possible? It is possible because Jesus has already conquered each and every one of those mountains for us. He has walked in our shoes; he was persecuted for you and I and he died a terrible death so that we would not have to die. With Jesus we have life everlasting. With God all things are possible. We must have the faith to believe this and put his many promises into action in our lives. Remember, we can do all things through Christ who gives us the strength. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
