Unboxed: Built on Purposeნიმუში

Have you ever had a cold or flu that you thought would never go away? Your mom or dad may have told you that with a few more good nights of sleep, you’d be better, but you felt so awful that you began to believe you’d always be sick. Eventually, just like they said, you did get better.

You know what? That’s like a tiny snapshot of your whole life.

The world is sick with sin. It affects all of us, and it has a powerful influence on how you view your body. It can make you feel defeated and hopeless inside. The good news? We will not live in a broken world forever. Jesus has a plan to come back and make everything new, and he’s working on it right now! That’s hope you can count on!

Reflection Questions:

• What is something in life that you feel defeated or hopeless about? Read 2 Corinthians 4:18. What does it tell you to do about those things?
• How does knowing the hope you can have in Jesus change the way you see your struggles?
