Life is challenging with troubled relationships, strained finances, sadness, illness, frustrations, and threats. I’m sure you can think of others. So many things rob us of control and make us anxious. How can we find peace? Simon and Garfunkel sang about a “bridge over troubled water”. But is there a more lasting and permanent solution than the things that fail us or wear out? Jesus himself told us that we will have trouble in this world. All the same, he offers a solution. It’s not a ticket out as much as a transcendent place to be, not a strategy to cope as much as a savior with whom to live.
