Temporal Pain and Eternal Presents


Job 19:25

For I know that my Redeemer lives,

and at the last he will stand upon the earth.


Hebrews 2:6-10


[6] It has been testified somewhere, 


    “What is man, that you are mindful of him,

        or the son of man, that you care for him? 

    [7] You made him for a little while lower than the angels;

        you have crowned him with glory and honor, 

    [8]     putting everything in subjection under his feet.”


    Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him.  [9] But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.


[10] For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering.


1 Corinthians 6:9-11


[9] Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, [10] nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. [11] And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

This is the eternal present that thwarts all the pain that will follow you here on this earth!!

Your persecution, your illness, your loss, your suffering or any affliction that will try to rip you apart!

It's temporary.

Our only hope is in Christ alone through grace alone!

He willingly died as Your substitute taking Almighty God's wrath due you.

He loves us even while we are sinners , forgives us, redeems us, justifies us, and sanctifies.

It's eternal.

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah 

Are you a child of the King?


1 Peter 1:3-5


[3] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, [4] to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, [5] who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
