Thursday: The Refuge in Times of Trouble — 7 Comments

  1. Refuge promised in Christ is "to be found in Christ" or "when Christ comes my life goes with Him". Now in pains of my "real condition" and kept by the faith to endure throughout trouble. In final analysis God is sovereign in that punishment that was given to me by His sovereign judgement. Lion - Satan - angel of God's wrath only operates because God give him a job. (Not that the sin comes from God but when sin comes God uses it for His punishments.) Like a criminal on the cross I am justly condemned to death. God is right for that. It is temporal punishment.
    To be found in Jesus is to be free from eternal punishment, not to be found naked before God. To be dressed up in Christ's garment. To be found like Son of God and not like enemy of God. That is what "refuge in Christ" is for me.
    Also there is a hope to escape death by Christ Second coming in our life time. That means to be freed from death condemnation and to be changed in new creation in a twinkling. But still if we are that generation we need to suffer "end time troubles" and to overcome the Beast so pain is still here.
    Christ is made perfect by suffering on the cross (Epistle to Hebrews said that) so (I don't like it) that is only way for us also.

  2. The only precious refuge is found in Christ alone, that the everlasting life he promises to those who obey Him by keeping his commandments. Now what is required of us is to prepare ourselve to meet Him. He is coming very soon

  4. Yes we all have pains. Being ignored for being Christ like is the worst one can imagine.
    But in God everything is possible.

  5. What a powerful and blessed assurance to have a refuge in our Savior Jesus Christ. This is the great hope of all the saints to go home to heaven but to get there we have to suffer just like Christ suffered. But, we will have the victory just like he did because in Jesus everything is possible. This lesson speaks to my immediate problems and it gives me validation that everything will work out according to God's will. Thanks be to God!

  6. "We have reached the period foretold in Scriptures. The time of the end is come. The visions of the Prophets are unsealed, and their warnings point us to our Lord's coming in glory as near at hand" DA 235
    O whose side are we going to find refuge? Under whose pavilion are we going to hide? Under whose shade are we going to find shelter when these perilious time come. They are hestaning apace. The Lord in Prov 23:26 says, " My son give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe My ways" The Lord sees our disorder. He knows that our souls are diseased with sin, and He desires to you,"Thy sins are forgiven." The Great physician has a remedy for every ill.
    Let all who desire safety Him his/her heart.
    Happy Sabbath to all.
