“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18
All of us suffer under the curse brought upon the world by sin, and, as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we suffer the hatred of unbelievers and may be persecuted for clinging to Christ and His Word. Yet, the sufferings we endure in this world are nothing compared to the glory that awaits us as believers when Christ returns and takes us to be with Him in His eternal, heavenly kingdom.
Keep our eyes focused on You, O Lord, and on the glory that awaits us in heaven for the sake of Your innocent sufferings and death in our stead. Amen.
