Hebrews 12:2
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfector of our faith, --
Beginner and ender, starter and finisher.
Who, for the joy set before Him --
Jesus saw the result of what He was suffering, and knowing all the good it would do, all the lives that would be changed, all the people that would be rescued; and it brought Him joy, and encouraged Him to persevere and finish that work.
endured the Cross, scorning its shame --
When He was hanging on the Cross, His nakedness was publicly, shamefully displayed for all to see.
and sat down --
Because His work was finished, complete forever.
at the right hand of the Throne of God.
As God's "Right-Hand Man," ruling with Him.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
