Everybody wants to be a part of something bigger than themselves. That's why team sports are so popular. That's why we want to be a part of a relationship that works. People search their whole lives looking for something that is big and that will last. I am a Christian, so I can stop looking. I am a part of something that began before time and that will go on into eternity. I am a part of something that countless others have been a part of before me, and countless others will be a part of after me. Christianity will never be about me, because it always has and always will be about Jesus.
My job is to stay focused on Him. If I'm honest, some days are easier than others. Jesus promised that I would have trouble in this world, and He wasn't playing around! The good news is that He endured the cross so I wouldn't have to face the trouble that I actually deserve. Going through hard times is never fun, in fact it is often quite painful. But it does produce me an endurance that will shape my life if I let it.
I am part of a kingdom that will last forever. It will never falter or fade. My King will rule for all time. There is no one who can take Him down. There is nothing that can knock Him off the throne. Many have tried to bring it down over the years. Newsflash, fighting against God is a bad idea. In words of the great philosopher Darth Vadar, 'It is pointless to resist.'
Step into something bigger. Welcome to the Kingdom.
Enjoy the Journey
