LOOKING UNTO JESUS
Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Personal Challenge
Life is hard. There are challenges every step along the way, especially if you are trying to living a godly, Christ-like life. Jesus told us to be prepared for this. He told us that if the world hated Him it would also hate His followers. But, we are not alone in this journey of life. We have a great cloud of witnesses, the saints that have gone before us that we can look to for guidance and example. We can look to Jesus who has lead the way into eternal rest and showed us how to follow that path. We have our Father who desires all of us to be reunited with Him. And we have the Holy Spirit to live within us and lead us to the eternal resting place. Glory be to God!
