The miseries of life and the glories of Christ

There are four miserable aspects to life on a fallen planet Earth that God has promised will be gloriously overturned in the future for all those who are in Christ and who belong to Him. Until that day, these miseries point us to God and only increase our desire for Him and our longing for their fulfilment.

|1| The reality of oppression and the need for true comfort.
|2| The reality of the world's system of envy and pride and the need for contentment.
|3| The reality of loneliness and the need for companionship.
|4| The transience of the world and the need for The One who is constant.
