Praise the Lord JITA.
As it was for Jesus, so it is with his church. The closer we get to fulfilling our Promise’s. The more real the Problem becomes.
We see Jesus choosing to keep walking towards his promise, even though the place he’s entering into actually means, “Pain - Bethany”. How willing are we to commit ourselves to pursue destiny even when we know we are going to have to suffer to get there.
“The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”. (Romans-8:18)
