What are you pursuing, friend? As Christians, we are to pursue Jesus Christ. Let's turn to Scripture for insight on what pursuing Jesus looks like.
To become a beautiful butterfly, an ugly caterpillar endures various changes to its body. Despite the discomfort and struggle, the end result is worth the difficulty. The same is true for Christians. At times, we encounter various trials which may involve discomfort, struggles and even suffering, but the potential outcome of growing in the likeness of Jesus Christ offsets any difficulty we may face.
