Hebrews 12:1-3
Endurance in the Christian life is sustained by fixing our gaze on Jesus, who endured the cross and now reigns.
1 Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,
2 looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.
Endurance in the Christian life is sustained by fixing our gaze on Jesus, who endured the cross and now reigns.
To exhort believers to persevere by fixing their eyes on Jesus, who endured the cross and now reigns.
Run with Endurance, Receive the Father's Discipline, and Worship the Unshakable Kingdom
Because Jesus endured the cross and opened access to heavenly Zion, believers must run with perseverance, receive the Father's discipline, pursue holiness, and worship God with reverent gratitude as heirs of an unshakable kingdom.
