Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, Hebrews 3:1

It is your heavenly calling to daily consider Jesus. He has made you holy and with the shedding of His blood bought you into the family of God. Consider Jesus because you are justified freely by His grace and the redemption that is in Him. Consider Jesus because it is because of His perfect sacrifice that God can still be just and the justifier. Jesus is to be considered because God set Him forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness. God's holiness nature and patience in passing over previous sins can stand together because of what Christ did on the cross to exalt God and bring sinners to Himself. Consider that the privilege that you have to spend time with Jesus is greater then any earthly opportunity presented to you.

Consider Jesus whose name is more excellent then any other name because it was through Jesus that the Father choose to completely reveal Himself to the world. Consider Jesus that is the heir of all things and because He has made us co-heirs we shall receive all blessings from Him and live with Him in His eternal kingdom. In the word of Jesus all things are held together by His incomprehensible power. Consider Jesus who sacrificed Himself for the sins of many so and is sitting on the right hand of Majesty on high. Consider that it is worth it to forsake all sin for the name of Jesus.

Consider Jesus who found glory in being a servant and by the suffering of His death He was crowned with glory and honor. Because He humbled Himself the Father found it fit to lift Him to the highest place and exaly Him above all. Our High Priest has been counted worthy by the Father and one day everyone on earth, under the earth and above earth will bow to Him. Jesus is the resurrected king that is above all whose majesty and honor is unmatched. Consider Him who is the brightness of God's glory and how all this world has to offer is a dying flame compared to His radiance.
