Brother Eli shared with us the story about Lazarus in the book of LUKE 16:20-22.
And this story reminds us that true peace is better and above all suffering. As Christians, we are always called to put our faith and full trust in God. For he is the only one that can overcome anxiety and depression in our lives.
Lazarus was known as a beggar. He was covering souls. And while on earth, he fixed all kinds of hardships. And suffering on earth. Yet, his story was filled with steadfast faith. Although he was living a miserable life. But at the end, he was given an ultimate reward.
Which is being carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. Symbolizes eternal life. HEBREW 9:27. This scripture always reminds us that death is inevitable. Whether you are righteous or you are a sinner, we must all die someday. And this death is what will usher us to a paradise. Not another place of suffering again.
Making reference to ISAIAH 57:1. This passage illustrates how God's mercy is kind to us. Sometimes, he takes the righteous early from this world of suffering so that they can enjoy a future without evil. and this will shift our focus from the anxiety we face in the world to the eternal hope we have in Christ. as we see in the case of the thief that was being hanged on the cross. In the Bible, which was promised to be in paradise with Christ because of his faith.
As we keep living our lives as believers, we should surrender our fears. Through our prayers. Through our appreciation. And we should always embrace peace. And have faith in God Surpasses all our problems and sufferring here on earth. As we prepare to meet our creator, we should also be prepared to leave this life of suffering to divine honour and eternity in Christ.
