POINT TO PONDER Sometimes faith in God means the risk of embarking on the untried and uncharted, with no proof of success but with every assurance of victory. For believers, that assurance comes through faith in Jesus. He is the light of hope that has dawned in our lives (Isaiah 9:2), and He is our Wonderful Counselor to guide us every step of the way (v. 6). We are confident that the Lord Jesus will stand by our side throughout the episode. CONCLUSION The psalms are songs of praise; yet many of them voice fear, frustration, and complaint. The prophets are books of hope; yet they often describe the hardships of the faithful. The Bible is brutally honest about the difficulties of the life of faith. Where is God in all this? He is with us. He was with the small nation of Israel as they lived under pagan domination. In Jesus, God is with us as one who experienced all the travails of human life. And He is with us, as His Holy Spirit lives in us because of Jesus. PRAYER Heavenly Father, we are amazed that in Jesus You have shared our sufferings and taken the punishment for our sins. May we live as people who know Your constant presence. In Jesus’ name, we say thank You, Amen. THOUGHT TO REMEMBER God is still with us! ANTICIPATING THE NEXT LESSSON In next week’s lesson “Peter’s Report,” we will explore more about the Messiah’s role as both King and Priest. Review Psalm 110 and Acts 2.
