[:en]Thoughts from “Our Daily Bread” (6/30/17)[:]

[:en]A Brazilian architect, Hector da Silva Costa designed a famous statue “CHRIST THE REDEEMER” that overlooked the city of Rio de Janeiro.  The statue is a model of Christ with His arms extended so that His body forms the shape of a cross.  He hoped that this statue would emerge as the first image from darkness at dawn so that the city dwellers would view the setting sun as a halo behind the statue’s head.

When Job suffered, he said:  “I know that my redeemer lives and that in the end he will stand on the earth” (Job 19:25).  If you are facing difficult times, remember to look at our Redeemer.  Have hope for today and look forward to enjoying eternity with Him.[:]
