The Way of the Cross – What pain are you willing to sustain?

Bible Text: Hebrews 12: 1-2 | Preacher: Scott Roe | Series: The Way of the Cross

The Way of the Cross

Is there something in life that you have wanted so bad that you were willing to do whatever it took to get it? If you have had that experience even once, then you know that the hardship you had to endure to get it paled in comparison to the reward you would get at the end. Jesus longed for humanity to encounter the Father’s love and experience Kingdom restoration. Jesus pursued this to the degree that nothing was going to stop him from attaining this prize, not even the cross. Have you been gripped to that degree by the love of Father God?

What Pain Are You Willing to Sustain?

We live in a world that seems to avoid pain at almost any cost. And yet on the other hand there are things that we are willing to pursue at a high cost. You have to wonder what it was that Jesus was after, that he was willing to endure such intense persecution to the point of being killed. Not only was this true of Jesus, but also of his followers, and innumerable saints all down through the ages. What pain are you willing to sustain?
