Living by faith is not easy:

• What will happen?
• What will I get?
• Will I be happy

To follow Jesus Christ we must live by faith - Romans 1:17

The cross was a test of faith for Jesus

• Experienced the slience of God
• Beaten and hung on the cross
• Believed in the resurrection that he could not see
• Could only see the blood, pain and faces of mockers

We see faith was under seige, also see that faith endured

Situations of life:

1. Positive - grow quickly
2. Difficult - the questions surface
3. Tragic - faith needs to accept the situation, ask for help, and believe that God's power will be sufficient

Do you see your difficulties as burdens God shouldn't allow, or as tremendous opportunities to demonstrate faith?
