on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith [the first incentive for
our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity], who for the joy
[of accomplishing the goal] set before Him endured the cross, disregarding
the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God [revealing
His deity, His authority, and the completion of His work].
There are many things that can distract the believer from what God has for
them to do. It is also so easy to get caught up in the business of life as
well. Pride and selfishness are 2 of the major causes of sin. Jesus went to
the cross for us, disregarded the shame, all because of love. Jesus is my
best friend, though many times, He is a better friend to me than I am to
Him. My heart is to share Jesus with everyone I come in contact with and
many times I fall short. For the believer, if we truly believe that hell is
as bad as the Bible says, we would not want our worst enemies to go.
Brethren, we MUST keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, and let our world know that
Jesus loves them and so do we, especially those we don't want to.
