BE
ENCOURAGED- DID HE QUIT?

We have all been in that place
of "feeling" like throwing in the towel and quitting----but
the Lord Our God is a great encourager and he always sends us one to
speak His thoughts to us
Did
Jesus quit the job he was sent here to perform?
Did he quit when people criticized him?
Did he quit when his neighbors failed to recognize his calling?
Did he quit when those who sat under his teaching failed to understand
even simple truths about the kingdom of God?
Did he quit when the disciples bickered about who among them was
greater?
Did he quit when the storms came?
Did he quit when satan offered him a better paying job?
Did he quit when the Pharisees constantly tried to trap him?
Did he quit when he saw sinful practices going on in the house of God?
Did he quit when they mocked him?
Did he quit when the death threats came?
Did he quit when he was kissed in public but was being set up in
private?
Did he quit when one of his closest friends betrayed him?
Did he quit when his followers deserted him?
Did he quit when Peter denied even knowing him?
Did he quit when the people chose to follow a sinful man instead of
choosing to follow him?
Did he quit when they shamed him?
Did he quit when they beat him?
Did he quit when they stole even his clothes from him?
Did he quit when those in authority failed to render justice in his
case?
Did he quit when God allowed him to suffer?
Did he quit when the Father seemed to have completely forsaken him?
Or did he complete the job his Father gave him?
PhilIipians 3:14
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me
heavenward in Christ Jesus.
