My Mosaic (Aug 20)


Welcome to the weekend!


As I’ve been reading through the book of Revelation and watching global events unfold, I’ve been reminded how John encourages the churches to persevere and hold onto hope through their suffering.

It’s not a message we hear a lot, living in a first world nation. We don’t like suffering and spend more time trying to eliminate it. Yet, the faithful witness of the church to the work of Christ, in the face of persecution and death, leads the nations to fear the Lord and give him glory.


What a testimony of hope.


In our own seasons of suffering we too can persevere, pointing people to Christ, the grace of our redemption, the humility of the suffering servant, and the confidence of our returning king. May we be the faithful, praying voices for our brothers and sisters in Christ,


For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd,

and he will guide them to springs of living water,

and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes” (Revelation 7:17).
