“looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:2 NKJV
In our daily lives, we look at so many things. We repeatedly feel joy or discouragement according to our judgements. Sometimes, we blame God for unfairness, or attribute success to ourselves. Actually, many people think life depends on us.
However, I wish we could look unto Jesus instead. Jesus endured shame and torture on the cross for us. How small our suffering and selfishness are compared with His!
In fact, everyone wishes to live in a peaceful society, but because they don’t know the solution, so many sad things happen. They think there is nothing they can do; but the solution that we long for is Jesus Himself.
Jesus is the beginning and end of all things. He has the power to overcome everything. Through Jesus, we can gain true life. Faith means freedom from every chain; under Jesus we can be fee from any sin. I pray that more people can enjoy this true freedom.
