We read these verses in the One Year Bible today:
1 Samuel 22:1-23:29
John 10:1-21
Psalm 115:1-18
Proverbs 15:18-19
In John, Jesus tells us why He laid down His life. Why, in other words, He chose to die. It wasn't to be dead. It was to rise again. And to be the FIRST to rise again, all of the rest of us who love and follow Him coming after.
As Christians, we will face suffering and death. But these are not the end. They are the path to eternal life. When you are discouraged in your sufferings, or when you've lost a loved one, keep it in mind - we look forward to rising again with Him to eternal life.
God, thanks for reminding us that suffering and death are not the end - they are only the path to eternal life.
