Sometimes it's hard to imagine that we'll ever get to our destination
0:18
as we inch through the junctions. But here's the thing. it is the joy of arriving that keeps us able to face the arduous journey
0:33
The Bible often describes life in these terms. An arduous journey, a pilgrimage through a barren land
0:41
And how often it can feel that way with the sorrows and difficulties that life throws our way
0:49
The question in those times is, do we have hope that this journey leads to a good destination

Many people of great influence want us to believe that life's journey is ultimately meaningless
1:06
that there is no destination, that this M25 is all that there is
1:13
But Christ, Christ offers hope. As we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we can know that he is with us
1:26
And for those that he guides, there is a glorious destination that makes the arduous journey worthwhile
