Faith in the Face of Death
Matt Chandler, the pastor of The Village Church, is currently recovering from brain surgery. Before he went under the knife he recorded a short video, which you can watch on The Village Church blog. It’s well worth it.
What’s amazing about the video is Matt’s perspective on his medical situation. In the midst of a life-threatening problem Matt boldly says he’s thankful for the opportunity. Basically, he thanks God because now he can say that in the face of death he still did his best to uphold Christ.
In his own words:
“There’s this part of me that’s so grateful that the Lord counted me worthy for this. And there’s this part of me that goes, “Okay,” because now in an area where it’s not a big win I get to show that he’s enough.”
Have you ever been in a similar situation? Did it strengthen your faith?
