Even as stressful and strenuous as schooling could be, coupled with the feeling that lecturers don't really care about your life, or the rigours of completing assignments....
...the fact that you have to attend lectures, yeah even the boring ones or the research works that can be quite frustrating.
Or the fact that you can't really have a great SOCIAL life because of it...you don't suddenly want to drop out of school (though you've made the threats, more than twice).
Yet you look towards that day, when you'd wear that gown, be given your certificate and have all effrontery to call yourself a BSc, Masters, Phd Degree Holder
And with this thought in mind...with your eyes set on the glory of that day and beyond...you keep grinding, keep pushing and keep pressing
Now hear the words directly from Paul...
....who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God
Heb 12:2
Stating to us that,for the Joy before him, Jesus endured the pain and shame on the cross
So is there a shortcut to getting the PRIZE without paying the PRICE?No!
To get to the throne and earn the prize, there's always a price to pay...there's no two way to it
But if our eyes be set on the price we might only be able to achieve just a little...
...as we might feel discouraged or dissuaded when the pain/shame seems too much to bear
As such man's best bet is to focus on the PRIZE/GLORY, he would gain from the price he has paid
Join us this Sunday on ROYAL DISCUSS PODCAST, as we talk about Pay The Price!
Missing out on this is not an option!!
