How can I stay faithful in times of trial?

If you want to live an effective Christian life, then you can expect it to be full of trials. That is the normal Christian experience. James says that when these trials come our way, we should not allow them to get on top of us or think of them as a reason to doubt God’s goodness, but should “consider them joy” because God uses them to develop perseverance in us.

What is happening with the guards in Matthew 28:1-15?

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
