Day 43 – Consider Jesus

“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2

Today God is saying to us ‘consider him’.  Consider the person of Christ. When he went to the cross, think about what he did. That’s what the word consider means. Consider what transpired when Jesus went to the cross.

Look at verse 3. “For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.” Now, each time you are thinking about how long you have waited for your breakthrough, the Bible says in Hebrews 12:3; ‘consider him’. Consider him; give thought to what the Lord has done. Give deep consideration to what Jesus has settled on the cross of Calvary.

The solution to all the circumstances that you face in your life has been settled on the cross of Calvary. That is what you should consider. Consider the fact that your sickness has been paid for, consider the fact that your sins have been paid for, consider the fact that the sacrifice on the cross is adequate to bring deliverance to your child, if only you can hold unto the blood that was shed on Calvary. Consider the fact that your sins are forgiven, consider the fact that circumstances may look negative but when Jesus went to the cross, he said “It is finished”. Consider that. Give thought to it. So the devil must not distract you as you face your day, consider the Lordship of Jesus. Consider the finished work on Calvary, and great shall be your peace as you walk in faith today. You will return with rejoicing in the name of Jesus, amen.
