Do you ever feel like life paints you into a corner so deep and dark that there is no way you will be able to get out of it? Have you ever looked at the direction of your story and thought that there is basically no hope for you? When you're in the middle of a terrible situation, it's easy to look at yourself and where you are and think that nothing will ever change. It's easy to fall into that trap where you think that life basically works for some people and not for others and that your are in the second category, so the only thing you can hope for is to simply make the best of the crappy life you've been handed. Here’s the thing: if you know Jesus, none of those things are true of you. Even if they seem true and look true and feel true, they aren’t actually true. I’m going to let you in on a little secret - in the end, Jesus wins. When it’s all said and done and the curtain closes on this world as we know it, Jesus is going to reign over everything. He is going to right every wrong and dry every tear from every eye. Does it help you right now in the midst of your problems to know Jesus wins in the end? Absolutely! It’s like a really positive version of what happens when someone spoils a movie by telling you the end before you see it - all of a sudden, the drama of the story doesn’t effect you as much. The scary parts aren’t as scary. Jesus has overcome the world and one day we’ll all see it. That assurance changes absolutely everything.
