In times of chaos and confusion, we must be diligent to not lose out: Love, Faith and Joy.

Satan tempted and gained a victory over the first Adam...resulting in our (the human race) misery and bondage to sin and death.  When the Last Adam appeared he tries to derail the plan of redemption as well...but this Adam foils his attempts with glorious power!!!  He has the power (and willingness) to enable us to foil Satan's attempts as well.

Thankfully Matthew has written a gospel to reveal the real answer to this question...and to show us, up close as an eyewitness, the glory of Jesus!

Judged unfairly? Well the apostles comforted the early Christians with the thought "Jesus is Coming Back" and He will bring justice and make all right...forever!!
