Easter is drawing near.
Yet another reminder of how Christ died so that we may live, and live abundantly.
Yet how often do Christians forget, that the power that resurrected our Savior, is the very power we draw to win victories over sin in our lives. And how vast is that power is!
That love Christ had for us when He died for us on that cross, is the same love He has for us today when we go through our little struggles. And how deep is that love is!
I know there are many in this world who are struggling with the question 'why me', and 'why this'. I had a conversation with such a person just a few days ago. And there are many many more like him whom I talked to.
But why ask why? What can overcome you when there is the love of Christ there for you (if God is for you, who can be against you)? What can be 'bad' for you when God meant it for good? And if you love God, it is always for good, as Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."
To be assured of power, to be assured of love - all these are evident by Christ's finished work on the cross. But if we feel insecure in our daily walk along life's road, how do we even reconcile this with the knowledge of Christ's saving love and grace on the cross? Why would a Christian fear? There is no need to fear, for there is nothing more fearful than being separated from the love of God, yet in this we are secure.
Therefore, if you're feeling downhearted and helpless today - turn your eyes upon Jesus, upon that cross where salvation came at the price of grace, and all these will become strangely dim.
