Things Have An End

"For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, and he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end."  Luke 22:37.  The work of redemption that Jesus had come to accomplish was almost at an end.  The task for which God had sent him was coming to fulfillment.  The suffering that he experienced and the separation from his father that he knew was soon to end.  Is it not true for us as well that the things which we experience in life soon end?  We find ourselves in turmoil, but calmness comes.  We become ill, but wellness comes.  The events in our life change.  We can be happy, but saddness comes.  Smiles are followed with tears.  In our life, there is separation as well as reunion.  All things have an end.  We must know the downs as well as the ups.  There are both smooth times, as well as rough times.  Today can hold the greatest promise while tomorrow may look like defeat.  God's plan for Christ had him reckoned among the transgressors, but it had an end.  Whatever darkness we see in life will ultimately be dismissed by the brightness.  The clouds will disperse, and the sun will shine for the things concerning us have an end.
