This is not the time to sit back and relax or be an apathetic Christian. So the encouragement I want to give you is to understand the time we live in and to persevere under God’s providential hand in our time, even in these times of trouble.
endure until the end
We are the believers who live between His ascension and the rapture. In the purely physical sense……we can’t see Him, we can’t touch Him, and we can’t hear His voice calling to us from the shores of the Galilee like the disciples did. We can’t hold His nail pierced hand as Thomas did. For now, we have to walk by faith and not by sight. We know there is a blessing for all of us who haven’t seen Him…..yet believe.
