No cross, no crown; no suffering, no reigning with Christ!

 

No cross, no crown; no suffering, no reigning with Christ.

~Thomas Watson

Today everyone wants every thing easy! They do not want to have to work for it nor do they want to follow any rules and laws. They do not want to carry their cross which we are all given on this Earth School journey. So many today sin and sin, they hate, are violent, come up with so many excuses for sin and lies, they try to justify all using terms like social justice, but it is all excuses. There is a lot of envy, jealousy, and insecurity today by many. They don't rise to the occasion, so they envy and are jealous of others, it is their insecurity, but then it all leads to hate. There is too much hate today in our world. A hate I just do not understand at all. Where does hate come from? It does not come from God and God gave us Jesus, who is love. Hate comes from the fallen angel Lucifer, the devil, and now so many follow him instead of Jesus, they prefer to be slaves for Satan committing sin and making a lot of excuses for it all and all the lawlessness. Then they blame people like President Trump for enforcing the laws or trying to put some law and order back into our broken country and world. We need to remember not everything is easy in this life. We must carry our cross, we each have one, to receive our crown, our glory in Heaven. Never give up, don't quit, stop sinning, take up your cross and follow Jesus! Without suffering, without pain and troubles, without turning to Jesus and following Him, we cannot reign with Him in Heaven, spending life eternal with Him when we commit to following Him, not sin!
