Praise God from whom all Blessings Flow!!!
A few years ago, I was having a conversation with a counselor friend of mine and he shared with me the various stages of Jesus' life. We, as Christians, remember the stories of the birth of Christ and can probably recite the manger stories but have you ever thought about all the various other things that Christ went through, for us?
If we think about Christ's life from His birth to resurrection, there are actually many stages that were monumental to His life. Actually, we can find ourselves at these same stages if we really think about it. What's really great is that Christ has already Paid the Price on the Cross for us. So when we go through these stages we don't have to worry because we are never alone.
The Stages of Jesus' Life from Birth to Resurrection
- Alone on the Mountain Top (when you're going through something big don't you seem so alone on that mountain?)
- About to be betrayed by someone among you (there is always someone around the corner ready to steal our joy or betray us)
- Carrying a heavy cross because we all have a cross to bear
- Dying on the Cross
- Dead and Loss
- Down in the Midst of Hell
- Resurrected and Renewed (Thanks Be to God we will all reach this point!!)
No matter where we in our walk in life, the resurrection is still to come. Glory to God!!! This should give us hope for tomorrow. In our faith walk, we must continue to always have this in our mind when we're going through situations. No matter how low things may seem, we will be resurrected as Christ was because of the price He paid. Aren't you happy to be one of His chosen few? Don't lose the faith saints, there is JOY through the Resurrection!!!
