Today’s Thought “Problem Solved” G. Ward

 

Hebrews 12:2 “Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

 

The question through song by The Bee Gees (1971) asked “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart” to which remains a struggle. The lyrics emptied with two stanzas expressive of “No one said a word about the sorrow.”

The writer of Hebrews insisted every believer be motivated by the endurance of their spiritual predecessors (Heb.11:2, 4, 5, 33, 39) listed prior and not those spectators of indecision (Heb.12:1). Every individual of faith in that era didn’t witness the achievements of Christ in earth but were yet content with anticipation of His deliverance. It would/did ultimately grant them eternal presence with HIM.

We also are no better than the All-Wise Savior (Jn.15:20). Sufferings are mentioned 84 times alone in the New Testament and while the world says speak it away, generations before couldn’t (*cf. Ro.8:18). Will you decide on today to walk alongside the dispirited/depressed?
