We tend to let the cares of this world lull us into spiritual slumber. We get so entranced with our temporal kingdoms that we become in danger of missing the eternal Kingdom. Jesus doesn’t leave us uniformed about what will come before his return. He let us know we will suffer, many will be deceived, but for those who endure, when Jesus comes again it will all be worth it. Remembering the gospel empowers me to endure just as he endured for the other side of endurance is blessing beyond belief. It’s him!
