For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. (Hebrews 10:34-35)
The world has its values system of what matters and what doesn’t, and it teaches us to safeguard what we hold to be most valuable. Yet, in this life we have far less control than we imagine, and in light of this vulnerability, how do we deal with the inevitability of loss?
We fix our eyes on the one thing we can never lose: Jesus Himself.
It is Christ who is our cherished possession, and His love that is our greatest reward. If the uncertainty of life has you down, you can be lifted up by re-orienting your values system around this one simple truth.
Jesus is your guaranteed inheritance.
