My time studying is a reprieve from the bedside of the sick. This job has been so very stressful as of late, I am not sure that I can even continue in it, it is more than I am able to bear, and it is not about me but about the other; human suffering and death abound, “death spread to all men because all sinned.” (Rom 5:12) My hope is in the redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting, amen.
It is a difficult season indeed, and there is no promise of ease in this present day, but there is the hope of resurrection from the grave, and life everlasting in the Lord Jesus Christ. In the body he defeated Satan, the world, the law, sin, and even the grave. He lived a righteous life, a life that none of us have lived, nor even can live. He died on a cross for our sins according to the Scriptures, and he was buried, and he rose again the third day. He ascended to heaven, he is seated at the righthand of the Father God the Almighty, and he will come again to judge the living and the dead. My hope is not in this world but in the Lord Jesus Christ; he is the way and the truth and the life.
As of late, and at every turn, life on the earth has become very difficult, sin, and death abound; my hope is not in this world, but in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the life everlasting to come, in the kingdom of our God.
