Can we fix our eyes on Jesus?

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. — Hebrews 12:2

Who is your hero? I'm not asking for the Sunday school class answer, but the person you most actively admire! It is hard to "fix our eyes on Jesus" because he is not here where we can see him like other heroes. But he was the ultimate adventurer and trailblazer. He faced the horrific penalty and shame of the cross, taking away our sin! He did it so that we could have a hero that death and sin could not destroy, mar, or taint.

 He did it so that we could be confident that if we follow in his footsteps, the trail he blazed wasn't just for him, but for us, too!

The tongue is a powerful weapon for good or evil

The perfect gift

Romans 12:1
Therefore, I urge you,  brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice,  holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

God’s Word for God’s People

Zechariah 10:1
Ask the Lord for rain
   In the time of the latter rain.
 The Lord will make flashing clouds;
 He will give them showers of rain,
 Grass in the field for everyone.

Now what it seems

2 Kings 6:16
“Don’t be afraid,”  the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more  than those who are with them.”

A multiplied love 

1 John 4:21
And he has given us this command:  Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
