Luke 22:28-30

But you are those who have continued with Me in My trials. And I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me, that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Luke 22:28-30

What an amazing promise Jesus made to His disciples for enduring with Him through His times of trial. This reminds us that faithfulness in difficult times is noticed and rewarded by God. Are you currently in a trial and see very little relief in sight? Be encouraged, because we always can actively choose to continue with Christ even through these challenges.

Remember, your faithfulness in trials is not just about enduring, but about deepening your relationship with Jesus. Like Paul says, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” (Galatians 2:20) Ask God for the grace to remain steadfast, knowing He is with you and will reward your perseverance.
