Years ago I took my family to see a Passion Play in Branson, MO. Our youngest, six-year-old Abbey, sat in her seat watching the unfolding of the Resurrection Story. This particular portrayal had someone representing Satan who appeared behind the scenes and had an evil laugh as he manipulated Judas, Caiaphas and Pilate to crucify Jesus.

After one particularly disturbing scene, Abbey came and sat on my lap to watch the rest of the play.

I leaned over and whispered, with my arms around her,
"Are you getting scared, honey?"

She said loudly enough for everyone around us to hear,
"No! I'm not scared! I know how this story ends!"

Great answer!

In the midst of all of the craziness going on in the world right now (as I write, the Coronavirus has not yet been contained), it's good to remind ourselves that we know how this story ends!

Remember:
You've read the final chapter, and WE WIN!!!

When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:54–58, NIV)

Are you living today on the victory side?

We need to remind ourselves:
Life is hard. Life is not fair. But this life is not all there is!

WE KNOW HOW THE STORY ENDS!!!!!

Rejoicing, On the Victory Side!
