Day 5: Hope in Christ's Return
The sermon reminds us that "the Lord is coming soon" and that one day, "everything sad will become untrue." This eternal perspective doesn't dismiss our current struggles but places them in a larger context. How does the promise of Christ's return and the new creation impact your view of present difficulties? Today, whenever you face a challenge, pair it with the phrase "This too shall pass." Let this reminder of the temporary nature of our struggles fuel your hope in God's eternal promises.
Reflection Questions:
- How does the promise of eternal hope affect your current worries or fears?
- In what ways can focusing on Christ's return provide peace amid life's struggles?
Application:
Create a simple reminder, such as a screen saver or note on your mirror, with the phrase "This too shall pass." Let it guide you to focus on the enduring hope and joy of Christ's return whenever you encounter difficulty.
