Let's put everything aside and watch the movie
Big Idea: Sometimes it’s hard to keep our eyes focused on Jesus.
But, we must never grow tired of following Christ because He is the one who perfects our faith.
It was this joy that caused Him to endure the cross without giving up.
He knew his death would give us new life.
Prayer: “Lord, I admit that I have looked for love in many different places and I have often been let down.
I am weary from the search.
Please help me today to have complete trust and faith in your perfect love for me.
Please help me to remain in your love through all the ups and downs of life.”
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:24-26, Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Thess.
5:17; John 16:33; Romans 8:17; John 14:16
Introduction
Today we are going to be in week 2 of our Passion series, which happens to be Palm Sunday.
And last week we learned Jesus was and is the humble King who serves a world in desperate need.
Jesus’ actions were fueled by a humble love, and as we’ll discuss further today, a perfect love… focused on the joy set before Him.
STORY:
When I was in junior high school I signed up for the track team.
It was during that time I to train my body to endure hardship.
It took a lot of preparation and dedication.
I started my training by running around a city block five times at 5:30 AM every morning.
When I got to school the coach had us doing a barrage of training exercises to help condition us for the upcoming track season.
Push-ups, jumping jacks, running the 50 and 100 yard dash.
All of this took a lot of preparation and dedication.
Until I crossed the finish line In the track and field competition I couldn’t afford to lose my focus.
In running terms, Jesus ran a perfect race while here on earth, and His race took Him to His death on a cross.
Today, we hope to learn more about the perfect love that fueled Jesus on His journey.
Let's get started
If you have a Bible with you, I want you to turn with me to 1 Corinthians 9 where the Apostle Paul has some profound things to say about self-discipline and training;
Read 1 Corinthians 9:24-26
As I just said, Jesus ran a perfect race.
And we know from the gospels that He was very disciplined with His time, He was intentional.
He was neither running aimlessly nor boxing the air.
He had an eternal crown in mind, a specific mission and calling.
Hebrews 12:1-2 says, “let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross…”
We are all called to run a similar race.
While running through life, it’s important that we do so with endurance.
Endurance requires commitment to the cause.
It invites us to never give up hope of crossing the finish line.
But today, I want us to talk a little bit about Jesus as the perfecter of our faith while we run the race.
God is able to refine us as we run the race with endurance.
But how does this happen?
What is required from us in order to experience this?
I. Keep Your Eyes on the Cross
We already discussed how Jesus suffered on the cross for our sins.
It was His passion for humanity that held Him there.
I believe, if we want to experience that same passion, if we want to experience Jesus Christ personally day by day, we must be willing to fix our eyes upon the cross.
As humans we experience this ongoing conflict between where we fix our gaze versus where we glance.
For some of you here today, maybe you have felt empty recently.
You have felt as if you do not have much to give, and today you’re here seemingly out of obligation.
Maybe it’s because you’re glancing at God while gazing at the world.
I want to challenge you to make a switch today.
I want to invite you to spend time gazing at God and beholding Him.
Gazing at God invites us to spend time with Him constantly.
Paul talks about this in his letter to the Thessalonians:
