Eyes On The Prize Not The Price
By: Daniel Dzamesi
Hebrews 12:2
Let’s focus on two English words, both of which start with the letter “P”; Price and Prize. Price refers to the cost involved in acquiring or achieving something while prize refers to the reward received as a result of attaining something. The life of Christ, as described in Heb. 12:2, epitomizes the meanings of the words price and prize. We realize in Heb. 12:2 that Christ had His eyes fixed on the prize (the joy set before Him). As a result of His focus, He was willing to pay the price required – enduring the cross and its shame.
There is no gain without pain
