Consider...

Consider Him....
"...who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right had of the throne of God. Consider him who suffered opposition from such sinful men so that you do not grow weary and lose heart." (Hebrews 12:2-3 NIV)

in all we are and do, we 'consider him', who -
 left heaven for earth
   walked with the least of these
      loved us even while we were yet away from Him
         who wrapped a towel around his waist and washed feet
             endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down
             at the right hand of the throne of God.
and who said, "Anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." (John 14:12 NIV) Challenging, to say the least, yet, this is who has called us and set before us an example to follow - Jesus.

in all you are about today, will you 'consider Him'?
