Seeking God – Day 8

I once saw a story about D-Day during WWII that interviewed veterans regarding their experiences. It was riveting to hear testimonies from these courageous men. They shared their unique experiences and perspectives of that fateful battle that turned the tides of the war. There was one man who was on the ground during the invasion of Normandy. He stormed the beaches under heavy gunfire and artillery. As he was watching all that was around him unfold and some of his friends fall in battle, he said to himself, “We can’t win this fight, we can’t do it, the enemy is too strong and we are going to fail.” Then they interviewed a pilot who was flying over the battlefield and could see everything unfolding. He said, “We can’t lose! Everything is going our way. We are about to put an end to this battle.” Both soldiers were in the same battle with two completely different perspectives. The one who was on the ground thought there was no way to win. The one who could see everything unfolding knew that there was no way they could lose. As followers of Christ we already know the outcome! We have the perspective of heaven; Jesus Christ has risen from the dead! One day soon, as Revelation shows us, every creature will be praising God! The ultimate throne, the only throne that matters and lasts for eternity, has Jesus seated as the King of kings and Lord of lords. In the midst of the battle, remember the war is already won. Christ is risen and He is risen indeed!
