Faith

Was reading Luke, the days that led up to Jesus' crucifixion. I thought about the disciples and followers. It must have been hard, their hope for a saviour was now shattered. The one who claimed to bring them salvation has now Himself been crucified. He did not even respond to saving Himself when the criminal challenged Him. All that remains are memories of His teaching and experiences with Him. Many of them did not believe what He had claimed though they heard and saw the things He did. He claimed He would rise from the dead, some did not understand and some did not believe till He appeared before them after resurrecting.

One lesson I learnt through this passage is that we need to have faith, and hold on to the promises of God. If God has put a dream within your heart, then you should cling on to it, persevering in faith to see it come to pass. Without faith, it is impossible to please God.
