I was just thinking how much the world appreciates tough people. All the movies, the songs, the gangster lifestyle. What is it so glamorous about those people? It's like it's good and admirable to be the tough one who kills people or argues with everybody.
Not only that but also among the young people, it seems that the cool people are the ones who can prove to be tough, to drink the most, date as many people and not be heart broken, to fight with everyone, to be mean with parents and old people. That's to be tough.
But I know what real tough people are like. They are the ones that can overcome the world, Jesus was tough, He surpassed Satan, He overcame all temptation and He held all the pain. Now who is the tough one?
The worldly people who need to follow the world's rules to be accepted or the ones who follow Jesus' steps?
What is harder, to fall for the pleasure the world offers or to resist it. It takes a lot of strength and self control to a man to not fall for the mini skirts and tight shirts the women are wearing to show themselves off. That's tough, to be out in the world and not fall for the world's crap. That's admirable and honourable.
The Bible says, it's trough Jesus that we will be able to conqueer the world, He holds the power and strength we need to not fall for foolish things. Wisdom comes from Him and when we follow wisdom we get to Jesus.
Jesus is the tough one, nobody can beat Him, no word can trick Him, no secret can be kept from Him and none of His actions can be defused. Jesus is everything.
