The word endureth means to stay at it, to remain
while going through difficult times.
One of the soldiers of the army of
the Potomac who took part in the battle of Gettysburg, who made that famous
march from Manchester to Gettysburg, a distance of thirty-four miles, said that
the march with the clouds of dust, the perspiration, the blood of chafed limbs
trickling down into the shoes, was the hardest experience of the entire Civil
War for him personally. It is sometimes
harder to march than it is to fight. The
test of endurance is the long march. You
have set out on a long march. You will
meet many others who have gone part of the way and turned back. You will have by your side many others who
are ready to quit and go back with you, if you will go with them. But always there are some who are going
steadily forward and who have no idea of anything but enduring to the end. “…he
that endureth to the end shall be saved.” (Matthew 10:22).
✞ Endure!
P. S. Our salvation does not depend upon our enduring. Salvation is the gift of God, Jesus Christ and believing on Him. The “saved” in verse 22 is being delivered from the trials you are going through.
