Struggle is where Jesus teaches you to stop worrying about the storm and start talking to the God who rides upon the wings of the storm.
The message to the church of Ephesus was clear: You started well, but you have drifted off course. Get back to being who you used to be— and do it now! I believe that, while the letter that was written to Ephesus hit them in the center of their heart thousands of years ago, it was also written to touch the hearts of many churches today. We have been warned. We must return to being who we are supposed to be instead of what the world wants us to be. With Christ’s return imminent and judgment approaching fast, we must love everyone but take a stand against evil so that there is a clear distinction between what is right and what is wrong. Call it light and darkness if you like. Call it righteousness versus wickedness. But make sure that you do not slowdown in your fervor for telling others about the love of Christ and what He has done for you.
Our faith is not built upon explanations. Our faith is built upon promises. In the kingdom, we don't survive because Jesus came here and explained everything. In the kingdom, we survive because Jesus is the promised one and He came and fulfilled the promises.
Believe it or not, our God is an irrational God. He was irrational when He chose to love sinners. He was irrational when He sent His Son to die on a tree for us. It is impossible for a human mind to rationalize why God has done for us what He has done. The fact remains, He has done that for us and our only response should be one of praise and thanksgiving.
