Description: The joy set before Jesus that motivated him to endure the cross was his anticipated reunion with the Father together with all the redeemed sharing his glory, and it is this same joy; Jesus himself at the finish line; that empowers believers to run their race of faith with endurance, not merely their own effort or the inspiration of past saints.
