What is our goal in life? Some of us strive to be successful in our career. Some strive to have a good family. Others perhaps strive to attain financial freedom. To achieve what we strive for, we often need to make sacrifices or suffer, in the hope that what we seek would eventually materialise.
As Christians, our suffering "in this life can never be compared to the glory, as yet unrevealed, which is waiting for us." Our goal is to be with God. But as the reading tells us: "we must hope to be saved since we are not saved yet – it is something we must wait for with patience." Are we doing our part and prepare ourselves as we wait with hope and patience? Or have we allowed ourselves to fall away?
