Reflection
Of a truth being a genuine Christian is not an easy one, even our Lord Jesus Christ went through a lot when he was here on earth. He faced rejection, mockery, betrayal and more. But the good news is that Jesus overcame so we can overcome too.
We might go through trials and tribulations now, we might face persecution, or even death but all of these cannot be compared with the eternal glory that awaits us if we are patient till the very end.
The glory of living with our maker and king of the universe, the Sovereign God forever, where neither sorrow nor tears nor suffering dwells.
Been free from the numerous troubles and challenges of this world to live with Jesus christ whose brightness alone shall be our light forever, cannot be traded with our mere challenges of this present time.
All of these are just a glimpse of what we will enjoy with him in eternity. Like Jesus Christ let us endure the cross so that we may receive our crown of glory at last.
