Description of Christian Life
We know that this joy is in Jesus, and this hope is for Jesus, and this patience is from Jesus, and this tribulation is with Jesus, and this constant prayer is through Jesus to God the Father.Our joy is rooted in our hope, our hope in Jesus Christ who is the ground of our hope.
This is why Christians can rejoice in tribulation and not just in health and peace and security. Tribulation drives the roots of joy down into hope. The future joy streams back into the presence and lightens every load. All afflictions are momentary affliction that is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.” This was the hope that sustained Paul’s joy in affliction which also reflects in our own life today. All our momentary afflictons is working for you and me an experience of the glory of God that will outweigh every moment and every degree of suffering in this life.
