Keep Persevering!!

The sermon at church last sunday had this analogy that i find very encouraging. I didnt remember the exact words by words but it goes something along this line,
" My parents put me in an orphanage and they promised that they would pick me up one day! Years go by and they still havent pick me up. My friends at the orpahnage tell me to not wait for my parents anymore because they will never pick me up. They tell me to put on my cute face and behave nicely and stuff so then i would be adopted by other parents and move on to a new life."


As christians living in this 21st century world, it is so easy to forget that Jesus will oneday come back and pick me up from this world. Many think that i am stupid following this Jesus guy who is very outdated. Many also says that he wll never come back as it has been more than 2000 years since he said he would so why bother following him and live my life for him.

                                        BUT

I love the picture that oneday he will pick me up and the waiting would be worth it!! and i am grateful that it is not just a picture but it will deffinitely happen. How can i be so certain with what i just said?? the bible say so (John 14:28a). He hasn't come yet because he is being patient waiting for more to come to him. The hope that I have in Jesus that he will pick me up oneday is not just a hope that has no future or uncertain!! Dearest brothers and sisters in Christ, Lets keep our eyes fixed on the day where Jesus will come back and pick us up. Lets not be discourage by the world because it is against us and hates us. My prayer is that we would be able to persevere and stand firm together in the midst of our life in this world.
