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 is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2
Whatever Jesus begins, He is going to complete. Be encouraged today that if He has started something in you, He will complete bring it to completeness. That is His faithfulness to us. On the cross, Jesus endured shame, but He did not let it discourage Him. For the joy that was set before Him, He did not consider shame as a reason to turn away from His purpose. What was “the joy that was set before Him”? The joy set before Him was me and you and millions and millions of others like us. Jesus Christ endured the shame of the cross to bring us into His Kingdom.
