Of First Importance

“Ready for some good news? . . .

“Jesus Christ is stronger!”

Jesus Christ is stronger!

Stronger than my fears about the future or my shame over a past that cannot be altered though I wish so much I could do some things differently.

Stronger than my tired prayers with well-worn phrases and weary pleas.

Stronger than my need to know now, and have the trial terminated.

Stronger than the enemy of my soul who would discourage me with my own failings and disillusion me with the faults of others.

Such a simple truth—Jesus Christ is Stronger.Stronger than what,’ you ask? Stronger than whatever would cause you doubt or discouragement today.”

--James McDonald "Jesus Christ is Stronger"

(HT: Tim Challies)


Blogger's note: Truly Christ is stronger. In times of trials and tempations, the victory we have in Christ should be a constant reminder to us. And we should not be complacent in our actions towards it, we should claim that victory and move on with Life, be it running away from temptation or taking a courageous step.
