"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear" Hebrews 12:28.
Trials and life tests shake everything that can be shaken in our lives. Anything that is not built on a solid foundation will collapse. It looks like the current situation with the Corona Virus is the time when things are being shaken around the world and everybody is affected. People are getting scared and they panic. The mass media is spreading the panic even more. There is a lot of uncertainty. People are wondering how is the pandemic going to end, when, and how things will get back to normal. Fortunately, a bad thing may serve a good purpose. People can start asking questions about meaning in life, their existence, God. And Christians should be ready to help them with the answers. Why?
Because we believe in an unshakable kingdom, where Jesus Christ reigns as King of kings, and Lord of lords. If you believe in Jesus, and you are His disciple, you are a citizen of the kingdom that will last forever. Empires come and go, and so do their rulers. Nothing last forever, except eternal God and his eternal/unshakable kingdom. If you build your life on His word, you really build on a solid foundation. This foundation will hold when trials, storms, and tests come. Let's build our lives on a solid rock - Jesus Christ.
