This life will have struggles. That is guaranteed. As Pastor Ed reminds us today, we will run into opposition as we do our best to live a God-glorifying life in a world filled with evil and destruction. However, there is one example that we can turn to when we find ourselves in the midst of difficulties – Jesus! He too lived a life oppressed by the world, yet through it all, He honored His Father with His actions and words. We are asked to live a similar lifestyle – exalting God, even when the world is against us!
