I am sure you have heard the saying 'the Christian life is not a bed of roses'. I have and for a long time believed it toe be true. However I was thinking a few weeks ago that the Christian life is a bed of roses. In our Christian life we go through many different trials that would be considered the thorns of our life. The temptations, trials, and fire we go through bring us pain, but that is not our focus. We look to Jesus who is the Rose.
He is towards the end of the bed which is the end of our life. He has gone through those thorns and is our example that now matter how much those thorns may hurt, He has already gone through them and the pain we experience is nothing compared to what He endured. Just an interesting thought I share with you.
