The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. - Jesus (Matthew 6:22) Faith is the habit of seeing what God sees, but most of us suffer from vision deficiency. In the final chapters of the book of Hebrews, the author urges believers to fix our eyes on Jesus. By seeing Jesus for who he really is - the image of perfection and the pioneer of our faith - we will be able to see ourselves for who we are: imperfect sinners saved by grace through faith. Join us at The Story, Sundays in November, as we fix our eyes to see God's vision for our lives!

Send us your feedback — we're listeningHebrews 12 : 2 — Eyes on Jesus : Doubt to Devotion at Dawn“Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” — Hebrews 12 : 2As the first light breaks, Hebrews 12 : 2 calls the heart to focus again. The storms of doubt fade when we look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Across the world—Canada, Australia, Germany, and Mexico—believers rise to seek Him at dawn. Every burden loses weight in the presence of His enduring joy. He has gone before us, conquered shame, and taken His seat in glory. Today, fix your gaze on Christ, and find new strength to begin again.Paragraph 1 – Context In an age of distraction, faith can fracture under pressure. Hebrews 12 : 2 calls us back to focus—away from the noise and toward the cross. Jesus, the pioneer of faith, leads the way with endurance and love. When our attention is fixed on Him, doubt begins to dissolve.Paragraph 2 – Reflection There are moments when questions outnumber answers. Yet the Word teaches that Christ's endurance becomes our example and our encouragement. His joy carried Him through suffering, and that same joy is offered to us. Faith is not about perfection—it's about direction. Keep looking up.Paragraph 3 – Intercession & Vision Pray for those beginning their day weary or uncertain—for students in Germany, families in Mexico, pastors in Canada, and believers in Australia. May the global Church lift its eyes to Jesus once more. Let hearts awaken to His steadying love, and may doubt be replaced with devotion across the nations.Prayer PointsPray for renewed focus on Jesus at the start of every day.Ask God to remove distractions that weaken faith.Pray for victory over doubt and discouragement through Christ.Intercede for those questioning their purpose to find clarity in Jesus.Declare that eyes fixed on Jesus will not be shaken by fear.Pray for endurance to follow Christ through every trial.Ask for strength for leaders running the race of faith.Pray that believers worldwide fix their eyes on Christ, not circumstance.Lift up the next generation to stay focused on eternal purpose.Thank God that Jesus pSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Having laid a foundation of former faithful followers from Israel's past, the writer of Hebrews encourages his audience to lay aside every hindrance and sin so that they might faithfully run the race set before them. By enduring hardship and suffering, the church is strengthened by a disciplined life. He goes on to encourage peaceful living with one another, making sure that no root of bitterness springs up. He continues to encourage hopeful perseverance by reminding them that they are not headed to Mount Sinai, a physical mountain where the Lord shook the earth in holiness; they are headed to Mount Zion, an unshakeable kingdom where the peace of Christ reigns and the redeemed saints gather to live forevermore. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Today’s Bible Verse:“And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? ‘My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you.’” — Hebrews 12:5 God’s discipline isn’t punishment—it’s proof of His love. Hebrews reminds us that when God corrects or redirects us, He’s acting as a faithful Father, shaping our character and guiding us toward what leads to life. Instead of brushing off His correction or sinking into discouragement, we’re invited to see it as care. His discipline is purposeful, gentle, and always meant to strengthen us, not shame us. “Want to listen without ads?

In Week 2 of Let's Talk About It, Pastor Nick Newman addressed how anxiety and depression can weigh us down like a burden we were never meant to carry, reminding us that peace begins where control ends. Using Hebrews 12, he taught that freedom comes when we cast our cares onto God, fix our eyes on Jesus, and trust the One who steps into the fire with us to lead us out.

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comHebrews 12Believers are called to run the race of faith with endurance, keeping their eyes on Jesus, who endured the cross and is now exalted. His example provides strength during trials. God disciplines His children to shape their character and lead them into holiness. Although painful at the moment, His discipline produces peace and righteousness. The chapter urges believers to strengthen those who are weary, pursue peace, and live in holiness. They are cautioned not to be like Esau, who gave up his birthright for temporary gain. A contrast is drawn between Mount Sinai, marked by fear, and Mount Zion, where believers come to a joyful gathering with angels, the redeemed, and God. Since they are receiving an unshakable kingdom, they must worship God with reverence, for He is a consuming fire. We are running a race that requires endurance, and we are not alone. Others have gone before us, and Jesus leads the way. He faced the cross, suffered with purpose, and is now seated in glory. When we go through hardship, it is not punishment but loving discipline from God. He is shaping us, teaching us, and helping us grow. His discipline may be difficult, but it brings peace and righteousness in the end. We must encourage those who are weak, pursue peace with everyone, and live holy lives. We are not standing in fear like those at Mount Sinai. We have come to something greater, a heavenly kingdom. Let us worship God with reverence, for He is holy and present. Holy Father, thank You for Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. He endured the cross, faced shame, and now sits at Your right hand in glory. We will fix our eyes on Him when we grow tired or discouraged. Teach us to see Your discipline as love, shaping us into who You have called us to be. Strengthen us to walk in peace and holiness. May we never exchange Your promises for temporary comfort. Remind us that we belong to a kingdom that cannot be shaken, preserved by the blood of the new covenant in Jesus' name. Thought Questions: What does it mean for you to have your eyes fixed on Jesus? How does He help you see that discipline is a part of honoring the Father? Is it important for Christians to feel cared for and supported? How do you regularly go about strengthening the weak among God's people? You have come to Mount Zion. What do you see, by faith, upon that mountain? And how does this view motivate reverence for God?

Some teach that God disciplines His children because they sin. But this is inconsistent with the fact that Christ removed our sins and remembers them no more (Hebrews 8:12; Hebrews 10:14). The truth is that we are always under the discipline and counsel of our Father. God's discipline is training for the future, not punishment for the past.
