Even if Our World is Collapsing Around Us, Jesus Never Abandons Us

The world today is far from perfect.  There is war.  There is poverty.  There is hunger.  It may seem as if we are living through the end of the world.  

On a personal level we might be dealing with fear, stress or sadness.  It may seem as if we are heading on a journey to our own personal hell.

But even no matter how bad things may seem, Jesus never abandons us.

The entirety of the Old Testament is littered with stories of disasters and lack of faith in God. Adam and Eve disobeyed God.  Man attempted to build a tower to the sky to show they were equal to God.  After Moses led the Israelites from slavery, they worshiped golden calves instead of God.

And still "God so loved the world he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life." Jn 3:16

No matter how bad things may seem, Jesus is there for us.  On the darkest of days all we need to do is ask for Jesus.  He will always be there for us.  That's what he became man to do-to save us all.  We just need to have faith in Him.
