Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross! On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right-hand side of Gods throne. Hebrews 12:2 GNB There are usually two sides to everything. The cross has two: a crucifixion side and a resurrection side. Jesus had to endure one side to get to the other. But if He hadnt endured, then wed all still be left without a Savior and no forgiveness of our sins. Hebrews 12:2 says that Jesus, for the joy of obtaining the prize on the other side of the cross, the resurrection, endured the pain. Like Jesus, we have to endure bad things. To endure means to outlast the devil; to be steadfast long enough to let the trial do whatever its going to do in our lives and get from one side of the cross to the other. Whether were hit by an unexpected circumstance, suffering for doing something wrong or for resisting temptation and sin by doing whats right, we have to go through things. But waiting for you on the other side of the hard times is the joy of obtaining the prize, the good result. Today, be encouraged by the way Jesus handled trials. He knew the joy that was before Him and persevered until the end. Hes given you the power to do the same. Prayer - Our Father in heaven, God, I want to endure like Jesus. Help me to get a vision for the joy of obtaining the prize that awaits me so that I can endure whatever trial comes my way. In Jesus mighty name I pray, Amen! God bless you and have a blessed weekend
