God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. The Son stands first in the line of humanity he restored.
Romans 8:29 The Message (MSG)
Whatever the challenge you might be going through in life right now; know that God has shaped your life as his child to succeed. You have been molded to be a product after a prototype called ‘Jesus Christ’ – Romans 8:29.
A prototype is the first sample product by a manufacturer. The prototype is the blueprint for other products because it has passed all the test that the manufacturer expects it to pass.
Jesus is the greatest man who ever lived and the most known Man in history. His birth is the most celebrated in the world (Christmas), and His death is the most prominent in the world (Easter). The impact of His life has affected our world so much so that our calendar dates are measured from the date of His birth (Before Christ often referred to as BC) and his death (anno Domini, often referred to as A.D.).
However, the life of Jesus was a catalogue of rising above challenges and overcoming obstacles, including:
Jesus passed every test brought his way and rose above every challenge that he faced. Since your life has been shaped by God to be in the same line of his son, you will rise above every challenge too.
The greatest challenge that Jesus went through was the experience of his death, starting from the Garden of Gethsemane and finishing on the cross of Calvary. That was not the end; he rose again overcoming every challenge. Before Jesus rose from the dead, the whole experience looked like a failure, but it was not; it was a setup for the power of God to be revealed.
Therefore, every challenge in your life is a setup by God for his glory to be revealed in your life, so be encouraged because it’s a setup, you cannot fail.
