Body Building Daily Devotional- 70

by David Joynt on November 20, 2021


HEBREWS 12:2b | 2bwho for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

The crowd of saints and martyrs past, the Old Testament heroes, and the 100 generations of Christians believers, cheer us on in our faith endeavors. But there is a center figure in this great assembly. Bearing the marks of the cross still, there is Jesus. Central to the work of earth and the worship of heaven. He is glorious, triumphant, joyous, and His seat at God’s right hand indicates His power to guide history and creation to its final conclusion. He too cheers for us and it is to Him we must look for inspiration.

Do something today that adds to the joy of Jesus and our heavenly encouragers.
