Pulling it together: In a troubled world we have this promise. The Lord of Creation has made a way for us through our difficult circumstances to enter a relationship with our Heavenly Father and to have a future with Him in His house. Jesus is the means through which we enter. He is the only way (Acts 4:12). There is no salvation in any other. Through Him we see the truth that God is God, and we are but sinners in need of a Savior. And through Him we find vitality that extends beyond our lives on this planet. The world cannot comprehend what is in store for those who trust in Christ, because the world is fixed on earthly things. Consequently, the world is spinning out of control with men trying to fix problems they have created through their own rejection of the truth. Jesus began this passage with “Let not your heart be troubled…That is a word of comfort for today. Believe in God and our Savior Jesus Christ.
Prayer: Lord, I pray for grace to think from eternity’s point of view. Whatever comes my way, I have a home with you forever. No place in this world is my final home. “I’m just apassin’ through.”
