“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with
so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which
doth so easily beset us, and let us run
with patience the race that is set before us, 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. For consider him that endured such
contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your
minds” (Hebrews 12:1-3).
Today’s Morsel: One of the
things about being an author is that you come across people who are excited to
meet you. You may not see being an author as a big deal but they do. I think this may be why
so many people get so excited when they come to church and meet Jesus for the
first time. They have read some of His book, (The Bible) and now they get a
chance to meet Him. Paul said that Jesus is The Author and Finisher of our faith. I don’t
know if Jesus is as excited about meeting us as we are about meeting Him, but
it sure does feel good knowing that you know The Author of the greatest book
ever written.
Sing: Who is this
who for our sorrows offers comfort and relief, bringing sunshine to the dark and
shadowed life? Saying softly, “Cease repining, lift Thy soul above its grief,
let the peace past understanding still the strife”
It is Jesus! Jesus! Sad one, weep no
more! He will heal the broken-hearted, open will the prison door, He is able to
deliver evermore.
Thought For Today: Jesus … The
Author and Finisher of our faith.
