Let's think for a moment about all the religious that have come and gone. There were Egyptian gods, that whole druid thing, and how can we forget all those Greek gods?
But then there's the church. Not only has the Church stood the test of time-spanning more than 2,000 years of history-but multitudes of people have also tried to destroy it without success. Bibles have been turned, apostles executed, and entire empire tried to wipe out the Church-all to no avail. The Church continues to thrive. Why? Because Jesus is the Lord of lords and the King of kings. Impostors fade away while Christ remains.
The situation has been the same from the Church's beginning. In Acts the apostles were threatened by religious and government authorities, thrown in jail, and beaten. But none of this put a dent in God's unfolding plan for his kingdom in the world. The Church continued to grown through all of the opposition.
Today's Church is the same way. Christians around the world are persecuted, and the Church of Jesus Christ still stands. Yet most of us don't see the Church as the invincible body it is.
