Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and battling stage 3 cancer was no fun. One day when Ken was driving me home from chemotherapy, we were discussing how sufferings are "splash-overs of hell," reminding us of the horror Christ has rescued us from. But we then wondered, "What are splash-overs of heaven?" Are they easy times when everything's going well? But we decided, no, it's when we see Jesus in our splash-over of hell. Because nothing’s more heavenly than finding Jesus in your hell. Philippians 3 says, "I want to know Christ… becoming like him in his death." Oh friend to become like him in his death can be very painful and suffering is a terrible price to pay for having Christ as a confidant. But he is ecstasy beyond words, and it's worth anything to be his friend. If you have cancer and are looking for encouragement, we’ve got resources for you at joniradio.org.
