Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Today’s episode unpacks how we endure life’s troubles—not by our strength, but through Jesus. The disciples were shaken when Jesus predicted the Temple’s destruction, but He reminded them that true hope isn’t in lifeless stones, but in Him, the living Temple. Jesus warned of troubles—false teachings, wars, disasters, and family divisions—but pointed us to His victory. By His death and resurrection, He endured what we could not, giving us forgiveness, strength, and life. In baptism, communion, and faith, we’re united with Him. When hardships come, don’t rely on yourself—come to Jesus. He endured for us, and through Him, we will endure to the end.
