Puzzling Thoughts
Matthew 7:24-29
Introduction,
My wife and I have recently engaged in the pastime of doing puzzles together. I have realized that in the challenge of puzzles, there are many analogies to my Christian life.
In the challenges of life Christ offers us an foundation that proves trustworthy. This is in contrast to our culture, which offers formulas in the futile attempt to avoid the challenges of life.
As a Christian, our foundation is the sure knowledge that
-God is with us in Christ,
-Christ truly identifies with our pain and struggles.
– Evil and pain although very real, are not permanent but passing.
