Has your life ever become such a mess that you thought it was hopeless and you sort of wished it was over? Have you ever been so overwhelmed by the problems right in front of you that you wished that you could call a time out or just get air-lifted out of your own life? What if you had a secret that could help you make it through times like that? During Jesus’ last night on earth, His disciples were freaking out. They had left their homes, their families, their friends, their jobs and their whole lives to follow Jesus. They had put all their eggs in this one basket, and now Jesus was about to leave them to go to a place where they couldn’t follow. He saw the fear and panic in their eyes, but He said, “Don’t be troubled.” He had a secret. He was going to make them a place, which meant that He would come back to get them and bring them home with Him. In the midst of what was about to be the hardest night of His life, Jesus’ eyes were focused on a moment in the future He has always been looking forward to. On that dreadful night, He was thinking of us, and how excited He will be to bring us home with Him in the end. He stared straight through the terror of the cross and all of the passing centuries to see the moment where He would come back here for His treasure. That moment will happen. He is going to come back for us. That moment in the future is the secret that can help you get through today. Look straight through your troubles and hope in the promise.
