The Comfort of Jesus in Troubling Times
(We Are Never Alone)
Jesus and His unwavering presence offers us comfort within the chaos that often surrounds our lives. Thus reminding us that we are never truly alone in our struggles. In times of uncertainty and turmoil, it is His Love that shines brightly, illuminating our path and guiding us through even the darkest moments. Isaiah 41:10 KJV “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.“ Jesus Christ the Son of God is that right hand and is God’s righteousness. Amen!
Jesus’ divine love and presence are the Rock of Salvation we can stand on allowing us to withstand and overcome all that we encounter. And from that place of peace and strength we are anchored by His Love weathering the sea of chaos.
When we allow the strength and peace of Jesus’ presence to dwell within us, we also can be a strengthening and peace to others in their time of turmoil and chaos. We are to be bearers not only of His love and name but also of His peace. We can be an anchor to others who are being affected by the tempest and the waves occurring in their lives. As Christians and believers in Jesus Christ we are a part of The Body of Christ. And as the Body of Christ we extend not only the Love of Christ to one another, within that Body but also to a lost and suffering world through His Loving Kindness within us bearing loving kindness to those in need.
What must one do to acquire this never abandoning, never forsaking, ever eternal presence of love and peace, strength and comfort from He who is GOD’s Love, Jesus Christ? We must be born again! This means accepting Jesus as our personal Savior and confess and repent of our sins. John 3:3 KJV: “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Here Jesus is speaking to Nicodemus about the need to be “Born Again”. This act of faith serves as a pivotal moment that opens the door to a renewed life filled with hope, purpose, and the strength to face life’s inevitable storms. Praise God!
In closing by being born again and embracing this new beginning, we can draw upon He who is Love, Jesus Christ to help us navigate our challenges while also extending that same love and support to those around us. By expressing what Jesus has done for us, how he transformed our life: from the past into the present we are bearing witness of that Love. This is our personal testimony that not only we are to share with our new family the Body Of Christ, but also to every single soul we encounter to bring them into that reality for themselves as well.
On a side note, the image at the beginning of this article is a depiction of Jesus holding a pure white lamb. That lamb represents each one of us sought, bought, paid for and saved by the Blood of Jesus Christ. And thus now are a part of His Body, the Body of Christ in God’s Holy Family. Amen!
May God Bless You And Keep You
