"To live or die, that is the question." As Christians, we are filled with profound hope. When we die, we enter into Christ's presence, awaiting the final redemption of our bodies when God will create a new heaven and a new earth. Yet, in the meantime, we face suffering in many forms. This suffering can be discouraging, but Christ is with us through it all. The Apostle Paul encourages us, "Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel." This call isn't just about our inner hearts; it extends to how we live out our faith in this world.
