"Let us look only to Jesus, the One who began our faith and who makes it perfect. He suffered death on the cross. But he accepted the shame as if it were nothing because of the joy that God put before him. And now he is sitting at the right side of God's throne."
Hebrews 12:1,2
Have you ever thought what Scripture was referring to when it said the joy set before Jesus? Have you ever wondered what God placed in Jesus' mind that made him endure the pain?
Well... it was you.
The picture of your face. The thought of your life. The relationship that He would have with you later on, as the future became present.
This blog is simple, yet hopefully it will give you the confidence to walk a little taller. You are the reason Jesus died on the cross. If he had to do it all again and only for you, he would. Its that simple. His love is that immense and sometimes that hard to understand. Its beyond the grasp of human understanding. As we live and grow closer to Him, we discover new areas of his love. And with these new areas of love come blessing, peace, joy and his endless favor. So rest in the fact that you are indeed the reason and the joy the gave him the strength to carry on. The strength to fulfill that which was promised long ago.
