Jesus was stronger than the circumstances!
My literature teacher was talking about Chekhov, and how he was particularly interested not in heroes, those who overcame, but in those ordinary people who were overcome. He was interested in the ordinary people, who were overcome by their circumstances.
I realized that all of us are eventually overcome. Some of us are stronger and it takes a more difficult circumstance, but sooner or later, we all run into something we can't handle.
Except for Christ. Even death couldn't stop Him.
Once upon the cross He bowed
Now His chariot is the cloud!
Once He suffered grief and pain
Now He comes on earth to reign!
Once forsaken, left alone
Now exalted to a throne!
Once all things he meekly bore
BUT HE NOW WILL BEAR MORE!!
And that's why he's the great hero.
But the most wonderful part of Christ's victory? It's transitive! When we have our unbearable moments, he help us to bear!
