Dabei wollen wir nicht nach links oder rechts schauen, sondern allein auf Jesus. Er hat uns den Glauben geschenkt und wird ihn bewahren, bis wir am Ziel sind. Weil große Freude auf ihn wartete, erduldete Jesus den Tod am Kreuz und trug die Schande, die damit verbunden war. Jetzt hat er als Sieger den Ehrenplatz an der rechten Seite Gottes eingenommen.
