How do we keep on going in spite of trials and challenges? In order to do that we must have the solid hope that there is a purpose behind it all. If we did not have some kind of confidence that it was worth it all we would just give up, quit, and go back to the world.
Jesus gave the disciples that hope when He said. “Because I live, you live.” We have all of our hope for living, both here and in eternity, because Christ lives in us. We would have no hope in ourselves. Bill Gaither captured this idea in song with these words:
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
Because He lives there is nothing to hard for me to face. Because He lives I have life in Him and I can face whatever life throws my way today. Thank God that He lives and I have life in Him!
