Door B
As a follower of Jesus, have you ever struggled with hard circumstances and thought, “What is going on? I don’t understand! I’ve been doing all the right things!”
Synopsis
What view of the Kingdom of God have you bought into?
Door A says if you accept Jesus as Lord by grace and actively follow Him, your life will be easier, and you’ll get to circumvent all the problems that people who don’t follow Jesus have to deal with. If you have calamity in your life, it’s because of your sin.
Door B says if you accept Jesus as Lord by grace and actively follow Him, your life will have pain and suffering hand-in-hand with joy and blessing. The Kingdom of God comes like a seed – it involves death and time for growth.
No matter what your life looks like following Jesus, you can be sure that He is the King of grace; the kind of king that can take momentary affliction and produce in us an eternal weight of glory.
