Luke 18:7
God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever possesses the Son has life…
---------------------------------------------------------------
Eternal life. Do you know how long it is? 1,000 years, 1 million years… well, these numbers doesn’t even come close. Eternal is eternal… immeasurable. And that is the life God is preparing for us in Heaven, a life of eternal joy and peace with Him.
But how can we achieve that eternal life in Heaven. By knowing and acknowledging that His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ is our one true King, Lord and Savior. Well, it may sound easy, isn’t it?
But, I am telling you, IT IS NOT!!! It would entail total sacrifice on your part here on earth so God can tell whether you are worthy of Heaven.
And this sacrifice is summarized in one sentence – “carry your own cross and follow Him”. Does it mean carry your burden? Does it mean carry all your problems? Well, yes. But take note of the second part of this sentence – “and follow Him.”
As we follow His example, our burdens become light as we learn to cope up with our problems, as we start resisting temptations, as we start dying to ourselves and start living for others. And in the end, He will take all those burdens from our shoulders, and finally allow us to come to Him to experience total, complete and eternal rest.
My friend, we all are experiencing great burdens in our lives today. Burdens and problems that can break us. Let us pray that we can overcome all of these. Give them all to Him and experience the rest we all deserve.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, I may be carrying the cross that you have given me. It may be very heavy, but its heaviness is nothing to all the burdens your Son has to carry on His shoulder to save us all from the devil. Let me believe in you and let me allow you come into my life as I look forward to that eternal rest in Heaven with you. Amen +
Praise your God, O Zion.
