I read a fascinating story about a follower of Jesus being persecuted. His persecutors began to peel his skin off his bones while the man was still alive. Very gruesome. He made the comment while being tortured that though his outer covering was being removed he rejoiced that he would soon be covered in the righteousness of Christ.
How does anyone make such a comment in the midst of excruciating pain? When I think about the light trials I have to face against the backdrop of being skinned alive I have it easy. My burdens are light and my yoke is easy in comparison. So are yours.
Press on brothers and sisters. We are not being skinned alive.
