I feel like we complain about the things we suffer but Jesus is at the bottom of this pyramid holding us up. (Colossians 1:17) It’s not to trivialize your struggles but to say fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame and is now seated at the right hand of God, the Father. Consider Him who endured so much from sinful men so that you will not grow weary and loose heart. (I just basically quoted Hebrews 12:2-3)
His life always has been and is to this day about serving all of us (Mark 10:43-45).
He is the last. (Revelation 22:13)
And one day, the last shall be the first. (Mark 10:31)
So spend yourself… if you want to be like Jesus (Isaiah 58:10)
He’s not standing aloof, yelling at us from the sidelines to deal with it. He speaks truth yesterday, today, forever. He knows and has experienced the full extent of humanity plus an added bonus as its creator. (John 1:10-11; Hebrews 4:15-16)
The last to get married. (Revelation 19:7)
The last to drink the cup of wine. (Matthew 26:29)
The last to sacrifice his life for us.(Hebrews 10:10-12)
The last…
