Hebrews 2
These Hard Times
Are Small Potatoes
Compared To The Coming Good Times
Scripture
14 Since the children, as he calls them, are people of flesh and blood, Jesus himself became like them and shared their human nature.
18 And now he can help those who are tempted, because he himself was tempted and suffered.
Observation
Suffering
… it is all around us. Just listen to the news or read the newspaper or talk to
friends and loved ones. Suffering is everywhere!
Does
anybody know what we are going through? Does anybody feel our pain?
Temptation
… it is all around us. Just turn on the television, open a magazine, or just
let your mind wander. Temptation is everywhere!
Does
anybody know how we are being tempted? Does anybody understand what we are
going through?
The
short answer to the question of temptation and suffering is “YES”. Jesus knows
exactly what we are going through. He knows both pain and temptation.
He
is our help for today’s crisis! He is all we need. He is Savior. He understands
us. He knows exactly what we feel today.
Application
I have a strong and trustworthy anchor for my soul in
this crazy world.
Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge
can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.
19 This hope is a strong and
trustworthy anchor for our souls. Hebrews 6:18-19
Prayer
So I am not giving up. How could I! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on me, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for me. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things I see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things I can’t see now will last forever. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
