\"\"When Yeshua victoriously proclaimed, \u201cIt is finished\u201d just before he died on the cross, he foreknew that his followers would experience a \u201cpurging process,\u201d a \u201crefining fire,\u201d and time on the \u201cpotter\u2019s wheel\u201d to perfect their sanctification. At the cross of Yeshua death itself was overcome \u2013 and all that it implies \u2013 and yet it is nevertheless true that we will suffer and die and that death persists an enemy (1 Cor. 15:26). While we celebrate the reality of the final redemption, the \u201cinstrumentality of our sanctification\u201d needs to be willingly accepted and endured. I say \u201cendured\u201d here because I don\u2019t think we will ever have a complete answer to the question of \u201cwhy\u201d we undergo the various tests we face in this life. Our disposition in the midst of this ambiguity, in the midst of seemingly unanswered prayers, is where our faith is disclosed: will we despair of all temporal hope or not? Will we console ourselves with the vision of a future without tears and loss \u2013 a heaven prepared for us? Will we trust God with our pain and submit to his will, or will we \u201ccurse God and die\u201d inside \u2013 losing hope and despairing of all remedy?<\/p>\n

God forbid you should give up now, friend. Faith \u201csees the unseen\u201d and believes the day of our ultimate healing draws near. Whether you can attend a Seder this year or not, please stay strong and keep your hope alive (Psalm 27:14).<\/p>\n
