He Will Complete It!

"I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace. Philippians 1:3-7 NKJV

Jesus Christ will complete it because He has begun a good work in you and me. What a hope it is in the midst of struggles and difficulties! That kind of hope we have in Him. So, be thankful in all circumstances and pray unceasingly just as our Lord Jesus Christ did while walking on the streets and villages in the land of Palestine two thousand years ago. We do not yet see the whole picture of what we shall be, but believe in Him that He would complete it. In the midst of all things in our lives, Christ Jesus is in command and control. He is the commander in chief of all the believers of the gospel. Therefore, we do not lose heart but have confidence and boldness in the hope of being revealed at His appearance.

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NKJV)

Isn't it encouraging at all? Our light and momentary affliction is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. We do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen.
