Acts 18:9-18 / John 16:20-23
What is our opinion about life?
To say the least, life is difficult.
For some it may even be painful and sorrowful.
No matter how prepared we are for the challenges and difficulties, or the struggles and troubles of life, it still won’t be that easy.
As Jesus said in the gospel, we will be weeping and wailing while the world will rejoice.
Yesterday, we celebrated the feast of the Ascension of our Lord into heaven.
For us, the Ascension is also a revelation for us.
Jesus revealed to us our eternal destiny and our eternal homeland.
So the sorrows and tribulations of this world cannot be compared with the eternal glory that is promised to us.
Let us keep our mind and hearts fixed on this eternity.
So life is difficult, but that cannot be compared at all with the peace and joy of being with Jesus forever in heaven.
