The author of the Book of Hebrews says this about Jesus, “who for the joy set before Him endured the cross” (Hebrews 12:2).

What would cause enough joy to make the pain and suffering of the cross worth while? Something that could provide that much joy must be something of extreme value. It must be something that is worth obtaining.

If you are wondering what Jesus considered valuable enough to make the cross worth it, take a look in the mirror.

The object of Jesus’ joy is staring back at you.

It starts with seeking God in the deep places and growing down. The upward growth will happen almost on its own. We need to seek deeper roots in our own lives, in small clusters of believers who want more, and little by little in the way we think and talk and value things as entire congregations and as the global Church.
