True Believers In Jesus Will Suffer. Rejoice! For Your Redemption Draws Nearer Each Day!!

Brothers and sisters, are you feeling like this world is not your home? Are you tired of being misunderstood by those who reject Jesus the Messiah who is the one and only God? A brother sent the passage below to me yesterday and though I have read it countless times, it greatly blessed me.

Be encouraged. The true believers are not of this world, but look for Jesus and the heavenly city Jerusalem. Be encouraged. Keep pressing on. We are almost there. Our Messiah is coming. In an instant, every thing will change. We are servants and many are called to give their lives for Jesus. Many more will give their lives also. We want to hear "Well done" from the lips of our Savior, the very Son of God.

2 Corinthians 2:14-17 

"But thank God! He has made us his captives and continues to lead us along in Christ’s triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume. Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing. To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume. And who is adequate for such a task as this? You see, we are not like the many hucksters who preach for personal profit. We preach the word of God with sincerity and with Christ’s authority, knowing that God is watching us."
