Hello OLC family! Welcome to another weekly update. We pray that you will experience God throughout this week!

Connecting Lives, Building Faith, Releasing Destiny
ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS
Hebrews says that it was for the joy set before Him that Jesus endured the cross. What was that joy that made it worth it to Him to go through so much suffering and agony? It was for the joy of being able to redeem you and call you His own. It was His love for you and the knowledge that it was the only way to save you from certain death that compelled Jesus to do what He did. He thought it was worth giving His very life for you, that you might find salvation in Him! Imagine the joy that He must be experiencing as He now watches us turn to Him and accept the precious gift that He gave to us!
"...looking only at Jesus, the originator and perfecter of the 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 12:2 NASB
