Where are you journeying to?

From the beginning of earth’s history, the faithful who trusted in God has had something special to look forward to. The Bible says, “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” Titus 2:13. Through this world of despair and sorrow, the second coming of Jesus has been the wonderful hope of God’s people. Throughout the centuries, martyrs gave their lives for this hope. In the face of the dungeon, the stake, the scaffold, the cross, these faithful witnesses stood bold in their defense of the truth. How were they able to endure? It was because they foresaw the promise of the resurrection and eternal life. The Bible predicts that at the end of time, the whole world will be as chaotic as never before. Depression, sorrow, and despair would be everywhere, and the faithful would have to remain standing in the face of such death. Just as the faithful of all times were able to endure by keeping their eyes on the promises of God, so are today’s faithful to do the same. What about you friend? Do you see the promises of God? Are you convinced that God will fulfill them? If so, then remember that you are a stranger on this earth; a pilgrim journeying to a better land.
