At the Cross

Hebrew 12:2 ncv “Let us look unto Jesus,
the One who began our faith and who makes
it perfect…” Bread Box 5/21/10

Do you ever felt like a slow spiritual down hill?
We wonder ‘where is God’s miracle in all this’?
Is there an answer? KJV quote: “Looking unto
Jesus the author and finisher of our faith …”

This verse encourages us to keep trusting Jesus,
“who for the joy that was set before Him endured
the cross, despising the shame…” Paul encouraged
us to “lay aside every weight … and let us run
with patience…” (Heb. 12:1a).

Let us put aside our “downhill feelings” and take
it to the cross. Let's ask the Holy Spirit to help
us run with patience. Let Him finish the work in
you. Remember Jesus endured the cross for you.

Song: At the Cross
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!
(Isaac Watts; Ralph E. Hudson, chorus)

So trust God today!
