Jesus was so full of the joy of being the author and finisher of our faith, that He endured the cross ignoring it's shame. May that encourage us to never give up....He didn't give up on us.
He even resisted His emotions and feelings in the garden of Gethsemane, just so we could be redeemed and have the ability to spend eternity with Him. For He went to prepare a place for us...and is coming back to get us
