Message OTM12-2: ”Spoils of War” part two

In order to endure the trials and difficulties that we encounter here, it is necessary to keep our mind focused on this final reward of the faithful. Jesus did this, and it was this very thing that enabled him to endure the terrible anguish through which He passed. 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.” When Jesus was in the midnight darkness of the cross, He focused on the joy that was to come. He thought of the millions of souls who would be saved as a result of His sacrifice. We too must focus on the joy that is to come!
