Study the Greatest: A Lesson From Hebrews 12:1-3

🏀 Kobe Bryant once shared that the best advice he ever received wasn't from basketball legend Michael Jordan, but from the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. What did MJ tell Kobe? "If you want to be great, you gotta study the greats."

📖 In Hebrews 12:1-3 (The Message), we're encouraged to keep our eyes on Jesus, the ultimate example of greatness. It's like the playbook MJ handed to Kobe. Just as Jesus ran His race with purpose, so can we.

🏅 Jesus never lost sight of His destination—a glorious finish with God. Because of this focus, He overcame every obstacle in His path. That's the key to greatness: unwavering faith in where you're headed.

🌟 We can read, pray, and prepare, but obstacles will still come—on the court and in life. But remember, God has a plan for you. The doors He opens, no one can shut.

🙏 So, keep trusting, keep believing, and study the greatest—Jesus. Just like Kobe took MJ's advice, let's take Jesus' example to heart and strive for greatness in everything we do.
