Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt

Do you ever feel like a failure? Do you ever feel like everything you are trying to do is for the glory of the Lord, yet nothing seems to be going the way you planned? Well, imagine how Jeus felt upon the cross! It was not a moment that looked anything at all like success or victory. 

Yet, at the end of his life, with his final words and breath, he proclaimed victory and accomplishment. He also professed absolute trust in the Father, knowing that the Father would preserve his spirit. Jesus did not base his understanding of reality on what he felt nor even on what he could see with his own eyes. Rather, he trusted in the reality that he knew to be true according to the Father’s Word. 

Perhaps that is something for us to consider in our own lives…
