Core Truth: However unexpected, unpredictable, and even unwanted some of the changes be that God allows to come into our lives – none is without divine purpose and ultimate benefit to our success and well-being if we will…with God’s grace and help, “fix our eyes on the Author and Finisher of our faith” – the One who out of sheer mercy and love reached out and saved us and started us on our journey unto eternal life, and has promised to get us all safely home.
Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-3
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
