Christ is Stronger

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to know that life is hard and without Divine intervention, can be unbearable. Pain will kill you. Adversity will beat you down. Conflict will break you. Ask anyone who has trusted in their own resources and they will tell you the well ran dry. Atheists, agnostics, even professing believers will say otherwise but quicksand is their foundation. Because Jesus is God He endured. Because He endured we can really live. But flesh and blood cannot reveal this to us. We must be born of (and led by) the Spirit of God. We must be changed by God and thereby want Him to rule over us. Jesus is the Righteous One. The Beginning and the End. Thereat Creation and coming again. The Lion and the Lamb. Vengeance and salvation is assured. Nothing else matters, really, in light of that fact. So what will you do with your brokenness? Offer it to Jesus. The pain won't kill you, but make you stronger. Adversity will spur you on to godliness. Conflict will drive you to the Fountain of Living Waters. Trust God's unlimited resources rather than your puny offerings. Jesus never runs out of juice. He is all-powerful. All things are possible with Him. You can do everything God wants you to do through Christ who strengthens you. He is stronger.
