12.18.08

Read Hebrews 12:1-3

Find the word "joy" in this passage. Is it surprising where you found it? Jesus endured the cross because of the JOY set before him. He knew that there was joy in His sacrifice.

Here's how I reworded this passage-
Next time you are around a group of Christians, ask them to let go of anything holding them back from following Jesus. Ask them to remove the sin that has them trapped and instead choose to live free in Jesus. We can be free in Jesus because He wrote the instruction book teaching us about our faith, it is through Christ that our faith is made perfect. As our example, Christ endured a lot. He knew what the outcome would be. He wanted us to be able to face anything without giving up. I think that gave Him joy.
