Consider Jesus
Consider Jesus and meditate on Him who endured from sinners such bitter hostility against Himself [consider it all in comparison with your trials], so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Hebrews 12:3
In this fallen world, we are caught up everyday with various trials and challenges and our hearts become filled with sorrow, grief, fear, sadness, lack of peace and our minds are occupied with thoughts of bad things that would happen, in the course of this we lose our God given blessing of Joy, peace and happiness.
But today's verse from Hebrews wants us to remind us about the great suffering that our LORD Jesus underwent on the cross, which is much greater than what you and I face today.
By remembering Jesus suffering on the cross, our problems diminishes or becomes so small that we couldn't recognize it.
We should not only remember Jesus suffering on the cross, but also realize that Jesus went through all this suffering for you and me, so that we can live an abundant life, filled with His peace, joy and happiness, so that we will not grow weary and lose heart.
This is the question every believer in Christ must ask themselves, if Jesus suffered so much for me on the cross, will He leave me and forsake me when I need help?
The answer to that is 'NO'. Jesus didn't undergo such a great suffering and then forsake us and not answer us when we go to Him for help.
Your LORD Jesus is for you and with you always till the very end. This is the promise He gave.
So today consider Jesus and meditate on Him and His suffering and be encouraged that He did all that for you and will surely take care of all you are going through.
