RUN – THE LAW OF SACRIFICE (2)

Hebrews 12:2 : Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Yesterday, we talked about the law of Sacrifice. However, why do many still struggle with making the required sacrifices for progress? I think the answer is in our opening verse. This verse shows us that the reason Jesus was able to endure the cross and despise the shame was because there was joy set before him. His vision was fixed on the joy of pleasing the father and being set at the right hand of God. Therefore, the secret to making sacrifices is this – Don’t look at the cost of the sacrifice, instead look at the result of the sacrifice.

Ensure that you are more concerned with the gain of the sacrifice than with the pain. Think about how much progress you will make! This shift in perspective makes all the difference. Say after me: I keep my eyes on the possibilities of my future as I make sacrifices today in Jesus name, amen.
