*VICTORY
Christ promised us victory in our battles, not the absence of battles. Jesus knew that the Christian walk would be difficult, but He promised that we would never walk alone. (Heaven, p176-7)
The life, death, and resurrection of Christ had attained the miracle of the ages, and the resulting emotion was therefore one of ecstatic joy and gratitude. The greatest battle had already been won. The cross was the sign of victory. Christ had liberated a mankind held captive by its own ignorance and error. (Mind, p121)
