As always, God’s Word is the Good News and today is no exception since He has some good news for us today concerning discouragement. For all of those who have known discouragement (and maybe even know it now) there is a cure for discouragement, no matter what the particular cause may be. Indeed, discouragement may come from any of a number of areas in our life, but there is only one answer — Jesus.
How can Jesus be a cure for our discouragement? If He is not a part of the problem, how can He be a part of the solution? He is not a part of the solution, He is the solution. As the Word of God says, when you consider Jesus and everything He endured at the hands of evil people, the hostility, the betrayal, the crucifixion, and you see how He handled it, not only will you no longer be discouraged but you will become encouraged. Jesus did not allow the things and the people of this world to distract Him from his purpose — to do the will of the Father. In the end, He received his reward, He was exalted to the right hand of the Father. Jesus is the cure for discouragement — Consider His life and look where it got Him!
