“The promise is not a life without storms, but his nearness when the waves crash against us.”

Many Christians have heard the reference of God’s kingdom being an “Upside Down Kingdom.” Things the Lord does can seem backwards or contradictory to how it should work in our minds. We can’t fathom how suffering is good for us or why God calls us to be humble when it hurts.

Jesus told His disciples to share their witness of His death, burial, and resurrection. He wanted them to explain to people around the world the great news of His gift of salvation. He died for man’s sin and has reclaimed authority to us. So, what was His message? “…and your feet sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace.” – Ephesians 6:15
