Yes there is a better day coming. ( John 14 v1 - 6 ) (2)
In 2 Corinthians 4 the apostle Paul writes ,'We are hard pressed on every side,but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair,persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed' In chapter 11 , he tells of more suffering, of being flogged, being exposed to death constantly,of being being lashed on 5 separate, occasions,of being stoned.of being shipwrecked,of facing dangers.Of experiencing hunger and thirst ,of being cold, without enough clothing to keep warm. In chap 12 he writes of having a thorn in the flesh, I wonder what the prosperity gospel people would say to that,they should bow their heads in shame.Of course Paul was sustained by the Grace of God,but also by the fact that there was a better day was coming, In Iran there is a pastor Anooshavan Avedian who has been sentenced to 10years in prison,and a further 10 years of what is called,'' deprivation of social rights',( e.g. severe restrictions on employment when he is released)For that dear brother there is a better day coming. Here is what the apostle Paul wrote ,'So we do not lose heart. Though are outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond comparison'
