“Encourage one another daily” (Hebrews 3:13). We are to encourage one another daily, to persevere and hold firmly till the end. My daughter, Kim, is an artist and she has depicted the Christian life in a picture, as a tug of war between light and darkness or good and evil. On one side of the rope there are evil, grotesque-looking, demons: big, strong and menacing they seem easily able to overwhelm their opponents. On the other side of the rope the Christians appear puny in comparison; small, weak, struggling and sweating under the strain; no match for the stronger opponents. But, then, as you follow the line to the end of the rope on the Christian side, there is a huge finger holding the end securely! Friends, we are on the winning side! Be encouraged, persevere and hold firmly till the end.
