Jesus Christ “Endured” the Cross for OUR Joy

New King James Version (NKJV)

2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

• Jesus Christ #endured the cross, for OUR Joy.
• Jesus Christ didn’t enjoy the cross.
• He “endured” the pain, as our Happiness ( permanent happiness : permanent free from deceases, permanent free from sickness, permanent free from pain, permanent free from crying and more ) was set before Him if he would endure the pain.
  • His Joy is to give us permanent happiness, so He endured the pain.
  • His highest Priority is to give us permanent happiness, so He endured the pain.

Matthew 13:44-46

Amplified Bible (AMP)

44 The kingdom of heaven is like something precious buried in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field.

45 Again the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a dealer in search of fine and precious pearls,

46 Who, on finding a single pearl of great price, went and sold all he had and bought it.

Sold all he had

Sold all he had = All Jesus had was Himself, so he gave Himself. He died for you and me on the cross, to redeem us from sin and to give us permanent happiness (JOY)
