What Jesus Does

 (ID: 3539)

When circumstances unsettle us or when life presents trials, to whom do we turn? Remembering Jesus Christ and His absolute supremacy can provide the believer great comfort, Alistair Begg emphasizes. Jesus’ work didn’t stop at the cross. He continues His ministry of reigning and ruling over the entire universe. When believers view the victory and supremacy of Christ as the basis for their safety and security, we can rest on His providence and rely on His power to navigate difficulty.
