Hebrews 12:2 tells us who to place our eyes on and why. The Christian life is not run by staring at everybody else, measuring yourself against other people, or getting lost in everything happening around you. We walk it by looking to Jesus. Glancing at Him every now and then or checking in when life falls apart isn’t going to cut it. Focusing on Him steadily, intentionally, and constantly is how we’ll get thru

He is called the originator and perfecter of faith because He is not just an example on the path. He is the very reason there is a path at all, and He is the One who brings His people thru it. Faith doesn’t begin with your strength, and it doesn’t get to the finish line because you managed to hold yourself together. Christ is the source and the finisher.

The writer of Hebrews tells us, “for the joy set before Him.”, is how Jesus endured the cross Now that doesn’t mean the cross was pleasant. What it does mean is He endured the shame, the agony, and the full weight of what was before Him because He was looking beyond it. He knew what His suffering was gonna accomplish. Victory was on the other side of doing the Father’s will, and He didn’t run away from it.

He “despised the shame,” not by treating it as if it was nothing, but by refusing to let it rule Him. The cross was meant to humiliate, and break Him in the eyes of men. Now though He “has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” which matters. It shows that because the sacrifice was made, and victory was secured that He sat down because the work was accomplished. The suffering was not the end of the story, and neither is yours.

Contextually, Hebrews is calling worndown believers to endure. Keep pressing on and finish the race set before you. The answer is not to stare harder at your pain but to look to Christ. When you are tired, look to Jesus. When obedience is gonna cost you, look to Jesus. When shame, pressure, and hardship start closing in around you, look to Jesus. The One who endured the cross is not merely someone for us to admire He is the One to follow, trust, and keep our eyes on until the race is done. God bless y’all and take care.

In this part of 1 Corinthians I think Paul is pretty clear in what he’s saying. Christ has been raised from the dead. This isn’t some lil thought to make us feel better. It’s not something we say at funerals. It is a fact that Christ has really been raised.

Now making a statement that Christ has been raised from the dead is just the beginning. He is the first of many who will be raised. His resurrection was not a one time miracle. His resurrection marked the dawn of what is still yet to come for His followers. Since Christ was raised, those who belong to Him will be too. His resurrection proves His power, but we gotta remember that it is so much more than that. It is a promise of what is to come for His people.

Adam opened the door to death for the human race. Christ opened the way to life beyond the grave. One brought ruin onto humanity. The other conquered death and secured victory for His people.

Everyone is born into the family of Adam and “in Adam” we all die. You can try to forget about death or think about it in some nice way or try to avoid it but it is still there. I was always told death and taxes are two guarantees in life. If you are “in Christ” you have a guarantee at real life. You will have life after death. Death does not have the final say for those who belong to Christ.

Paul is trying to make the believers in Corinth understand the concept of being raised from the dead by defending the certainty and necessity of bodily resurrection because some in Corinth were denying it. So he doesn't go and treat it like something that isn't important. He treats it like something that's essential and vital. If you take away the idea of being raised from the dead the whole thing falls apart.

Ok, so there is good news and some bad news. If you are apart from Christ, death will still be your end, but for those who are “in Christ”, death is not the end of your story. If you are “in Christ” even death is not permanent since Christ has been raised. His victory is not just for Himself. It will be for all who belong to Him. Everything changes just because of that alone.

There is comfort in knowing Christ has been raised from the dead. The tension is that death is real, it’s going to happen eventually. For those who are, “in Christ”, death is not the end. Christ has been victorious and because of that all who belong to Him will be raised too. This is not just something we are hoping will happen. We can rest in Him who showed His power and gave us a promise. His word is true. God bless y'all and take care!

John 10:27–30 is not Jesus handing out soft religion for people who want a bit of comfort and then back to business. No, this is Christ speaking like the Shepherd who owns the field, knows every sheep's name, and is not confused about who belongs to Him.

“My sheep listen to My voice.” His sheep hear Him. They don't hear Him perfectly, or flawlessly, but truly. There is a difference here. The world hears words but not His voice. False believers hear something optional. His sheep hear a voice, know it's His voice, and they follow because they belong to Him.

“And I know them.” is not casual awareness. This is covenant language that's personal, intentional, and secure. He does not say, “I know about them.” He says, “I know them.” There is a world of difference between being observed by God and being held by Christ.

“And I give them eternal life.” I hope you're noticing the order. He does not say they earn it, maintain it, or polish it up enough to keep it. He...gives...it. Eternal life is not a payment for good behavior. It is the gift of the Son to His people.

“And they will never perish.” isn't some weak language. It isn't Jesus crossing His fingers and hoping they hold up under pressure. Listen to me, brothers and sisters, that is a divine promise.

“And no one will sn**ch them out of My hand.” No wolf, no thief, no devil, no enemy, and surely no outside power. He drives the point even deeper by saying the Father’s hand as well. Why? Because the Son and the Father are one. They have the same purpose, same power and same divine authority.

Right here, Jesus is speaking to unbelieving Jews who refused Him not because the evidence was lacking, but because they were not His sheep. The issue was never merely intellectual. It was spiritual.

So the comfort here is not, “Try harder to hold on to God.” The comfort is this, if you belong to Christ, the Shepherd has hold of you. His grip is not like yours. Yours will slip but His does not. So listen to His voice, follow Him, and rest in the strength of the One who does not lose what belongs to Him.

Death had its hour, the grave had its silence, and men had their moment of false victory. Glory be to God, the morning of the third day finally came, and Jesus the Christ rose just like He said He would. The tomb was empty, death had been defeated, and the risen King couldn't be held down. Praise be to God, Christ is risen indeed.

Here we are at Holy Saturday which is the day of the sealed stone, the guarded tomb, and the false confidence of men who thought they could silence all the buzz around Jesus for good. They did everything they knew to do. They sealed it, secured it, and posted the guard. The reality is no seal of man can bind or stop the purpose of God. They thought they had secured their victory, but they were only standing guard over the collapse of their own plan. Praise be to God, His purposes and plans cannot be stopped.

Today is the day the sky grew dark and the Son of God gave up His Spirit. Sin is not something to be considered small. Judgment is not something to take lightly. The cross is not a just a decoration for your neck. So why call this day good? Not because nails are good, or because mockery is good, or because death itself is good. It is good because on this day, Christ stood in the place of sinners and accomplished what we never could. This day is good because the wrath we deserved was poured out, and mercy was opened to the guilty. We consider it good because the cross was not the triumph of evil, but the triumph of God’s redemptive purpose through the death of His Son, our Lord and Savior. This is where justice was not ignored and grace was not withheld. Praise be to the Most High God for the cross of Christ.

Maundy Thursday puts a holy weight on what humble love is. Picture this scene in your head. Jesus, knowing who He was, where He came from, and where He was going, still knelt down and washed the feet of His disciples. Even the one who was to betray Him. He was not confused about His glory, and He did not lose anything by stooping. He showed that real greatness is not proud, distant, or self-protective. It serves, it loves, and it gives itself sacrificially. Praise be to God for the humble King who loved His own to the end.

Glad to be invited back with CRU last night at Shepherd University. There is just something good about seeing young adults who are not there to play church, not there to kill time, but there because they are actually hungry to grow, think, and deal honestly with the truth of God's Word. We worked through few objections that arise around the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus in a hands on way by making them wrestle with real objections and giving them the chance to bring some real answers. Although, it was a cram session they leaned in, they engaged and they put in the effort which is what matters. Time poured into the next generation is never wasted time. It is a blessing to see college students trying to stand for Christ and be a real influence right in the middle of the place God has put them.

With hustle culture and most of life in general it pushes us to earn, to strive, to prove ourselves worthy of someone or some thing. When it comes to salvation, the gospel flips the script so to speak. God says it’s not something we can achieve. It is His gift, freely given through Christ. No amount of good deeds, moral living, or religious effort can bridge the gap between us and God. If salvation depended on us, we would always fall short. Thankfully by His grace, unearned, undeserved, and freely offered, God saves those who put their faith in Jesus. All the pride and boasting is cut out which leaves only gratitude. The cross doesn’t display our worthiness since it displays God’s love. The gospel calls us to humble ourselves, to worship, and to rest in the finished work of Christ. Thank you, Lord, for the cross. God bless y’all and take care.

As people we measure love in small ways whether it is kind words, sacrifices, or being there for someone. God showed love on a scale we can’t measure. He gave His only Son so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. The gospel really is simple. We deserved judgment, but God offered life. To me that’s love beyond anything this world can give.
