Should Sisyphus Have Been Grateful for His Suffering?

Life without God can feel like Sisyphus pushing a boulder uphill all day and seeing it back at the bottom every morning. But life in Christ offers so much more.

With God, we have a destination, and every stress, struggle, and trial is imbued with purpose through him. Instead of meeting our daily cross with dread, let’s approach it with gratitude, knowing that it brings us closer to God.

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

This whole experience of life is not just a meaningless cycle, it is a journey with a destination.
