The usefulness of faith is not so much defined by how good a person is at practicing that faith, but instead by the object of the faith. When the object of our faith is Jesus, the one who fulfills a better resurrection, even the most severe sufferings of this life are endurable. This is possible because this faith asserts that sin, leading to eternal and final suffering, doesn’t have the last word in our story. Instead, this faith in Jesus knows of a victory over sin and death, a victory that we specifically reflect on during this week leading up to Resurrection Sunday.
