Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:1-2 NIV)
Fix your eyes upon Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith. Or as Peder Eide shows us on the coffee mug to the left, Keep your i i on the cross…
If we can focus on the cross and let the other details be handled by the one who use t reside on the cross handle them, our lives will work out much easier than we could handle them on our own.
You see only Jesus really understands this place and what we are going through, because He has been here and he walked in shoes like yours, maybe not dealing with exactly the same things you are right now, but He understands your pains and sorrows. He understands the ups and downs of life and He has been through the emotional and physical dealing that life brings us. He knows. And He can help you with the details if you will focus on Him.
So focus on the cross, on Jesus and life will not be easy, but He will handle the details…
