Perseverance and Victory After All

John 19:30; John 21:15-17

For anyone who’s gone through very tough times, even ones that seem “no win” situations, it’s hard to persevere. That’s the theme we’ve been discussing this week. But we can. And we can win. Why? Because He did. Through the worst trial of them all in human history, He conquered. He is with us. And we are His. So, persevere we must!

Questions for further thought:
1. How do you feel about Jesus’ pain and suffering on the cross for us?
2. When you remember His ultimate perseverance for the entire world, how does your perspective on your own situation change?

​Challenge: Lord Jesus. With just ourselves, not everything is possible, but with you, all things are. We know that we’re not defeated - not really. We’re just down, but we need you to come pick us up, dust us off, give us a little more strength, and help us to persevere and claim the victory that we have in you. Thank you, Lord Jesus, and let it be so today! Amen.
