Prepare to Endure- Consider Jesus

Is titled "Consider Jesus...!"   We are told by the writer of Hebrews that we need to fix our eyes on Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith.  This is exactly what we will do this morning in answering the question, "How did Jesus to it?"  How was He able to live a life of faithfulness and endurance while continually enduring contention, strife, hatred and ultimately an excruciating death at the hands of godless men?  I believe it is critical to answer this question.  As followers of Jesus, we must consider how He accomplished this because we need to endure until the end if we are to overcome and receive eternal life with Him.  We will examine four very important aspects of Jesus' life and then find in the Scriptures that we are called to the very same thing as Christians.
