When we fix our eyes on Jesus our faith journey becomes hope filled. We can train for the Christian life of faith, cheered on by a cloud of witnesses and know that all discipline we experience, though painful at the time, will produce a bountiful harvest.
Hebrews 10:32-36
Hebrews 11: 39-40
Hebrews 12:1-11
A few things we can take away:
-The life of faith is likened to a long distance run requiring perseverance.
-It’s helpful to note what aspects of our life make us feel weary or want to lose heart.
-Take our eyes off ourselves and get fixated on Jesus.
-Recognize that if we lose spiritual fat and shed sinful entanglements we will be equipped to run well.
-Jesus’ reason for enduring suffering was the joy of being intimately engaged in our lives – he gave himself for his bride, the Church.
