"Life is hard. There are so many days when we just want to throw in the towel. We can’t take our sin any longer. We grow weary in dealing with others around us. We are discouraged at every news post. But the call of the gospel beckons us to be patient. Christ is risen. And just as his sufferings preceded glory, we can wait with patience for such a hope to be revealed to us as well...
The realities of the gospel and the presence of the Holy Spirit do not free us from or sterilize the effects of suffering and pain. Rather, the realities of the gospel and the presence of the Holy Spirit give us hope amidst the suffering and joy in spite of the pain."
