Jesus says "In the world you will have troubles, but rejoice, for I have overcome the world." The surprise is not, unexpectedly, that things turn out better than expected. No, the real surprise is that God's light is more real that all the darkness, that God's truth is more powerful than all human lies, that God's love is stronger than death.Excellent stuff! I admit that I do keep hoping God will change the reality of my everyday life, but even if that never happens, to know that God's light, love and truth are still there in the midst of it all is reassuring.
As a doctor and a Christian interested in philosophy, ethics and medicine, I spend a lot of time in those "grey areas" of life. I am continually learning to live in those places with God's grace.
