Topic: Not A Failure

In Christ's life there was tremendous frustration and failure. He did not do all He wanted to do in His heart. Only a few people had responded to Him with love. In the end, most people responded to Him with hate seeking His death. Instead of exalting his Father in Heaven, the people in Christ's earthly life killed the very Son of God. Instead of good winning out over evil, from appearances the evil of the world and the sin of the world had beaten back the Light that had come into the world to save humanity. Instead of apostles who were fully understanding about who Christ was and what God required of Him to do, we have dullards who did not understand until after Christ's death and resurrection the true significance of Christ's earthly life. From all outward appearances, it appeared upon Christ's crucifixion Jesus was human and had failed on earth just like us. Jesus knows and understands when you fail. Jesus also knows you are never able to do all that you want to do. However, what appears to be a failure to us may not be a failure to God. What appears to us as success may not be a success to God. What appeared to be the failed life of a prophet two thousand years ago who some people said was the Messiah was not a failure. In the spiritual realms of God, what appears to be a failure can often be the pinnacle of success.
