Hebrews 12:2 - Joy

Hebrews 12:2 | The Joy Set Before Him “Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” — Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)

In this video, we reflect on the powerful truth of Hebrews 12:2 — that Jesus endured the cross because of joy. Not in spite of it, but because of the joy set before Him: the joy of our salvation, our redemption, and eternal life with Him. What kind of joy gives someone the strength to face pain, suffering, and the cross? It’s a divine joy, rooted in love and eternal purpose.

When we fix our eyes on Jesus, we too can endure trials with hope. Joy isn’t about ignoring the hard stuff — it’s about trusting in something greater.

🕊️ Be encouraged today: true joy is found in Jesus, and it’s the joy that gives us strength. —
