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 is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. – Hebrews 12:2
Cross people. They’re everywhere. Out of sorts, fuming, scheming and switching out their hallelujahs for “crucify hims”. They show up anytime you’re doing anything important and worthwhile that threatens the status quo.
They’re there to be endured. Outlasted as you stay focused on the joy set before you.
Yes, the verse is talking about the other sort of Cross.
And yes, enduring that Cross involves enduring Cross people.
