Tag: Victory

Through Christ’s suffering we have victory. “Victory in Jesus” is a well known Christian phrase and hymn. The victory reflects the fact of the healing of His wounds and His resurrection from death, all of which He suffered to clear a path for each of us who put our trust in Him to bring us into His kingdom.

How can we not honor the Lamb who suffered in our place and was slain for us? Every day, but especially on Easter (Resurrection Day), we should concentrate on the indescribable truth that it is through His sacrifice that we are able to be healed and pardoned for our sinful ways.

Whatever the extent or nature of our suffering, past, present or future, Jesus has given Himself as a victory for our healing and survival beyond death itself in His invitation to live with Him in eternal life. 

Each of us is offered the opportunity for our suffering to be healed if we look to Him. This can be difficult when in the darkness of suffering, but if we focus on, and remember, the purpose in His suffering, there are great rewards. Our suffering and trials will likely test the strength and genuineness of our faith, but will result in praise, glory and honor for what Christ has done. 

As promised in the hymn “The Old Rugged Cross”, as believers, the day will come when we will exchange all of our suffering for a crown.

Are you up for giving thanks for His suffering, even His death, for you?
