"We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God." Acts 14:22

When I saw the horrible scene of the riot in Vancouver downtown I have been so sad for quite some hours! The disappointment of losing a hockey match could stir up a riot like that. Why?

As Paul and Barnabas encouraged and warned to the disciples of how they needed to go through many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God, we should take their warning too. It is so easy to live under praise, victory and success. But it is not easy to accept failure, losing, defeated and hopeless. But as disciples of Christ we have to be prepare to go through all those failure, losing, defeated, hopeless and many more hardship in our lives to enter the Kingdom of God.

Two weeks of Winter Olympic turned Vancouver into a world class city. But two hours of disappointment and anger turned Vancouver into a "mad" city! Why?

Are you prepared to go through many hardships for Jesus?!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us to be prepared to go through many hardships because of you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
