Greetings group leaders,
In this week’s passage, we are reminded that in the midst of trials and suffering, God’s mercy abounds in Christ and He will see us through the end. The invitation to joy and hope that God holds out to us through this passage is not one that defies circumstances, but views circumstances rightly. There is nothing that can separate us from God’s love and our union with him. Though persecution and trials may come and our lives or livelihoods threatened, our hope and life in Jesus is secure. This is the faith that overcomes the world. Faith that will one day be transformed into sight when we behold Jesus face to face. What a wonderful passage we can study together this week!
Gratefully,
Joe and Kaylan
