Until the end...

Because of the progression of evil, the love of many will cool, but he who perseveres to the end will be saved. Matthew 24.12-13

The 2019 Tour de France ended today in Paris. The runners "swallowed" about 3,300 km in the exhausting heat.

A few have given up. On Wednesday, two of them were kicked out for bad behavior... Thursday, at 80 km / h, two more crashed; they got up, changed their bikes and left to catch up with the peloton which was not expecting them. I admire ! Colombian Egan Bernal won this Tour... because he overcame all the difficulties and drove until the end of the last stage.

These cyclists talk to us about the race, about a race completed, about perseverance.

Our life is like a long race. When Jesus responds to the disciples about the end of time, he warns them : increasing difficulties will arise in the lives of those who believe in him, difficulties which will discourage them. Many will even deny it. But what matters is to persevere in faith.

Did you believe in Jesus Christ ? So without wavering, go all the way, make sure you still love her ! And it will not be in vain : on his return, salvation is promised in his presence to all who will have persevered... to the end.
