Sent

This simple yet profound instruction is given by the writer of Hebrews. . . we are to keep our minds focused on Jesus, our apostle, the One sent from God.

Jesus learned obedience through suffering…all the way to the cross.

The same God who created the stars loves you so much that He sent His Son to die on the cross so that you could be His friend forever. Ponder that!

Just as poison at the beginning of a stream contaminates the entire stream, so sin at the beginning of the human race contaminates us all. “All have sinned,” and that sin separates us from God. Actually God did for us what we could not do for ourselves. He sent his Son to pay sin’s penalty by his death on the cross.

When God sent his Son into the world, he did not make it easy for the parents or the child. He stripped the Anointed One of every royal privilege. Already tagged as an illegitimate child, Jesus breathed his first breaths of air in a musty stable. Jesus learned obedience through suffering…all the way to the cross.
