"But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 15: 57
VICTORY IN JESUS! Don't ever forget that. You become victorious through Christ. Winning isn't everything. In this passage, Paul was telling the church how to be victorious. Don't just believe, serve. You experience victory through Christ. It began when we gave our hearts. Having a relationship with Christ makes you victorious. We have a tendency to do what we are told not to do. For example, Adam and Eve. Satan thought he was victorious. Jesus was victorious. Don't be angry, frustrated, aggravated, and don't lose hope. He will always be there for you. You will receive victory in Jesus when you cross over. The victory in Jesus lasts forever. Satan will lose. Don't feel defeated - you are a child of God and because of that you have victory in Jesus. The only way you can win is with a personal relationship with Jesus.
I just recently finished "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. I had no idea what this novel was going to be about going into it; all I knew was that our 10th grade English class study it. Right off the bat I noticed that our narrator was not your average Joe. The narrator is death. When I realized this I said to myself, "Oh this is going to be good." The novel is all about the Holocaust and it is shown from a German point of view. Leisel Meminger's mother gives her away to a foster German family. On the trip to this new family, Leisel's brother dies. So right from the start death is there. I'm not going to give you a synopsis of it, because I think you should read it for yourself. Just know that a German family hides a Jew in their basement for a while, and death is around every corner. That last line of the novel really got me though..."I am haunted by humans."
