American comedian Groucho Marx once said…
“The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.”
We’re all familiar with the saying that “life is not fair”, and most of us have probably experienced that reality…
What is fair about working your whole life, only to find your retirement has vanished?
What is fair about training hard for a sport, only to suffer a career-ending injury?
What is fair about a loved one being killed by the carelessness of someone else on the highway?
But here is probably the greatest injustice of all…
What is fair about being the only sinless person to ever walk the face of the earth, yet having to die to save the guilty?
As Christians, Jesus made two promises we can cling to when times get hard:
Promise #1… “In this world you will have trouble”.
Promise #2… “I have overcome the world.”
