At Sunday's Divine Service and Parkland Lutheran School's 8th Grade Graduation, we were reminded that life's tests don't end at graduation.
David faced a difficult test when King Saul unjustly sought his life. Instead of taking matters into his own hands, David trusted the Lord to deliver him. In the same way, we face daily temptations to trust ourselves, seek revenge, or doubt God's promises when life becomes difficult.
But God has not left us to face those tests alone. Jesus perfectly trusted His Father in every situation, even while suffering injustice and death on the cross. He passed the test we could never pass and won forgiveness, righteousness, and salvation for us.
As our graduates begin a new chapter, and as all Christians continue their journey through life, we can face every challenge with confidence. Christ has already secured the victory.
