Fix Your Eyes on Jesus

Our own Pete Anderson challenged us on Sunday through some Old Testament "foreshadowings" of Jesus. In addition, the comparison from Joseph and Jesus was really insightful.

As the book of Hebrews tells us, the Old Testament saints never saw their ultimate promises fulfilled.  They were left waiting for something better.  Jesus is that "something better" and we hopped through three important passages:

1)  God spoke to humanity through Jesus
        - Hebrews 1:1-3

2) Don't drift from the message of Jesus--it is a great salvation! - Hebrews 2:1-3

3) Fix Your Eyes on the Author and Perfecter of our faith--Jesus!

"let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 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." - Hebrews 12:1-3
