Jesus Christ, the Son of God, showed everyone how to overcome challenges (and gave the best example ever by overcoming death!) If at any point or time in life confronted by a challenge, especially, those that seem too vexing to defeat, just remember: long before you even existed, first, he overcame a birth in a lowly manger. The three wise men even brought gifts to him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh to honor and adore this babe. Surely, this foretold of what great things were to come for this newborn. Today, Christmas celebrates the birth of Christ.
Next, he overcame constant public ridicule, shame , and humiliation. People actually spat on Jesus. They mocked him. They laughed at him. They called him names. But, the most incredible gift or sacrifice came when God sent Jesus (His one and only Son) to be crucified on the cross to save the people of the world from their sins. Of course, it goes without saying, Jesus’ part, sacrifice, or gift (call it whatever you want), was to come to earth, have a lowly birth, endure all the shame, ridicule, and mistreatment from others, and, finally, die, (and on a cross!) to redeem the people of the world of their sins. And, let’s not forget. He was dying to redeem the sins of many of the same people who had mocked, ridiculed, and humiliated him.
People were so cruel to Jesus he had to carry his own cross up the hill to the place where he was going to be crucified.

So, when presented with one of life’s arduous hurdles, rest assured both Jesus and the Good Lord are right there with you, quite literally, with every beat of your heart.
GOD AND JESUS ARE RIGHT THERE WITH YOU WITH EVERY BEAT OF YOUR HEART!!!
Just think. Christ was buried in a tomb for three days.
THIS CERTAINLY LOOKS COLD AND INHOSPITABLE!!!

But, on the third day, he overcame death, even death on a cross!

I hope in this post I have shown why Jesus Christ is the ultimate example of overcoming challenges. Even though he was mistreated by the world first in his birth and many times thereafter, he still died on the cross to redeem the sins of the whole world. Now, he lives with God in heaven and reigns on high!!!
