#soap # Hebrew 12 ## Title: Stay Focused on Jesus ## Scripture: (Hebrews 12:2) “keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the joy set out for him he endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.” (NET) ## Observation: Jesus is the hero of our faith. There have been so many people who looked forward to seeing His coming. We now live on the other side of His Resurrection. When we think of how loved we are, how accepted we are, and how treasured we are by God, it should fill us with a never ending sense of awe and wonder. The King of kings gave Himself up for us. He is also coming again. This joy is God’s prescription for us all. When we find ourselves flagging in our faith, we are to go over the life of Jesus again. We think through all He endured because of His great love for us. The Message paraphrase says, “That will shoot some adrenaline into your soul.” ## Application: Think about the story of Jesus and His great love for you. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for loving us with an indescribable love.
