In this sermon, Brian Tunstall preaches from Hebrews 12.
Jesus was joyful because He knew the good his sacrafice on the cross would provide for the universe. Jesus undertood the cost and through “Prophetic Imagination". Jesus endured the pain for the reward of eternal joy.
 
Hebrews 12:1-3 | The Message (MSG)
Discipline in a Long-Distance Race
12 1-3 Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!
