What events in your life made you say: The world as I knew it has ended!
For Pastor Rob, one of these events was the fall of the Berlin Wall; the other was when his sick grandmother moved into their home.
Jesus today readily admits that the world we live in has many cataclysmic events and challenges that make us say, my world has ended! Yet life moves on. Jesus reminds us that the Christian life requires endurance.
For many of us, the way that we endure tough situations is to hunker down and put on the emotional armor. Yet Jesus calls us to a non-defensive endurance, one in which we are open to his provision, including his provision through other people.
