Jesus (2)

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text
“Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself [reckon up and consider it all in comparison to your trials], so that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds.” Hebrews 12v2-3 (AMP)

The Lord is able to help you through all that you are going through. Are you losing heart and fainting in your minds because of the tough times? Turn to Jesus. He understands. Even when no one else does, He does. Don’t say it is too little, or too big, or that you have gone too far into a particular thing, He is able to bring a change to that situation. Jesus - He went through grievous opposition, bitter hostility, suffered shame, was misunderstood, betrayed, rejected, crucified, endured the cross, and He bore it all. God created you and He loves you. He is connected to you and from Him you draw your nourishment, strength, direction, and life, for He is the Vine and we are the branches. Turn to Him, for without Him we are nothing.

Supplementary Text
“What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since He did not spare even His own Son but gave Him up for us all, won’t He also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for His own? No one – for God Himself has given us right standing with Himself. Who then will condemn us? No one – for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and He is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours though Christ, who loved us.” Romans 8v31-37 (NLT)

Prayer

Father, we bless You for Your Word. Thank You for Your love for us O God in Jesus name, amen.
