As I prepared this morning for my Sunday School Easter lesson, I reviewed The Great Commission recorded in Matthew 28. When we face trials of many kinds, be they illness, grief of loss, financial hardship, parenting struggles, job difficulties, relationship issues, and numerous other challenges of daily life, what is the path to peace, joy, hope, and love? How do we find peace despite these difficulties? How do we find the path to joy and hope? How do we look beyond ourselves and our circumstances to the higher reality of all that is and all that will be? How do we put our struggle into proper perspective of God and His power in our lives? The answer is summed up beautifully in Matthew 28:20b:
“And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
He is with you in your sorrow.
He is with you in your loss.
He is with you in your trials, your struggles, and your grief.
He is with you when you succeed, and he is with you when you fail.
Rejoice, for He is risen!!
