The Winter Season

Although the leaves fall and the cold winter sets in, remember it’s a season. A season with a purpose. Spring and summer will soon come around. The leaves will reappear, the flowers will bloom, the birds will sing, the sun will shine. But for now, we are called to endure the winter.
Jesus had His winter season. It’s when he left His home on high for the earth below. He went from royalty to rags, He went from a perfectly glorious place to suffering the pangs of sin. It lasted 33 years. Then he returned to His glory.

Was the 33 years worth it? Absolutely! The results and the rewards are phenomenal. He did the Father’s will, He broke the bonds of sin and death. He atoned for the sins of the world. He is now high and lifted up, exalted to the right hand of the Father. And one day, every knee will bow an deveyr tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.

How does this apply to us? We are to follow in His footsteps. While on earth, we are to crucify our flesh with it’s passions and desires. Then one day we will reign with him.
Just like it was His season to die, it is our season to die.
II Timothy 2:11
If we died with Him, we shall also live with Him.
Is we endure with, we shall also reign with Him.
