SUFFERING AND PERSECUTION ARE OWNED BY THIS WORLD

13th May, 2024

Our Lord Jesus Christ to His disciples:

John16:32-33

“The time is coming, and is already here, when all of you will be scattered, each of you to your own home, and I will be left all alone. But I am not really alone, because the Father is with me. I have told you this so that you will have peace by being united to me. The world will make you suffer. But be brave! I have defeated the world!.”(John16:32-33)

SUFFERING AND PERSECUTION ARE OWNED BY THIS WORLD

The spread of Christianity and its long journey of transformation began with this understanding that runs to this day; it includes the charge of authority, the latency of uncertainty that becloud pursuit of faith, the suffering and inescapable persecution waiting for the believers and eventual carot of relief for those who remain strong to the end. In mirroring our thoughts today many Christians see suffering and persecution turning into a mix of situational drag in the turbulence choice facing Christians, and they are seeking for ways to combat the situation. And we have seen here that suffering and persecution are owned by this world, and this world is like a constructed passage every Christian must pass through. This is the message in Christlike.

Suffering and persecution are owned by this world and the chief occupants in their home  are temptations and the attractions, we need to know this. Knowledge brings the mind abreast of expectations and in taking up challenges, and this is where brevity comes in. The amour in brevity that sustains this is in our apron of faith and in the conviction hope brings. Be strong in faith and it will attract other virtues to combat temptations and their attractions.

Today we are assured by Our Lord Jesus Christ that the trappings of this world would not enslave us for they are defeated. To join in this acceptance we must open our hearts to love God, to receive and give love that includes forgiveness to others. This is the message of today.
