Topic: Help From Christ When We Face Adversity

Everyone, even innocent victims, must deal with the power of darkness. Everyone must deal with the power of darkness or the darkness will deal with them. For Christians, Christ is the way we deal with the darkness. In Christ and in His earthly ministry, we see the power of the love of God. Jesus conquered the physical limitations of humanity with His love. Jesus even conquered death by this power of love. We find in Christ's suffering and death on the cross, a picture of our own isolation, pain, brokenness, suffering, and separation from God. However, because He won out over death, we can also win out over death. Jesus suffered so we can win and at some point, not only will we suffer no more, but we will rejoice in Heaven where there is never any suffering or pain. For us not to try to win out over our earthly problems, pain, and issues is to turn away from the Cross and ignore what Jesus did for each of us.
