Intro
I reviewed the material and agree with Tebow—each day has to lived as if it is the last.
Everyone has a purpose; and there is no good reason to delay in pursuing God’s purpose for our lives.
I admit, I have a problem doing book reviews.
The book is good and has great motivation, but I prefer to focus on the Scriptural emphasis.
Let’s spend some time looking into the core scripture Tebow uses and see what God says to us through His Word.
Heb 12:1-4
We are surrounded—by a great cloud of witnesses:
The emphasis comes from a reminder of those who are part of the cloud from Chapter 11:
a numberless multitude above us, like a cloud
To understand Chapter 12, we have to go back to 11 and define faith:
heb 11:
Faith is a Title Deed—the evidence/proof of ownership.
i.e. house or an automobile.
Since faith is no blind—I can see a Title Deed and I can see the works of God in Creation, Conscience, and Christ that bear witness of truth.
The definition of faith is followed by a list of people who succeeded in living their purpose, even when life seemed to make no sense.
(Review the list)
Now review as a whole:
Notice the emphasis in the text
vs1a: The cloud of witnesses has been where we are!
And they cheer us on!
vs1b: Throw off everything that stands in the way
vs1c: Throw off the sin that holds on to us so tightly (Lit.
Sin clings to us and must be repeatedly peeled off!) Translation “which always so clings to us and trips us up!”
The language implies a caution to be careful not to be deceived by gradual seduction!
vs1d: Let us run the race God has set before us!
Emphasis is twofold:
1. be patient and disciplined (c.p. )
Emphasis is twofold:
2. run YOUR race!
vs2-3 tell us how to run:
v2: Stay focused on Jesus and follow His example: Jesus kept His eye on the finish line, not on the crowd or the things that tried to draw Him way.
v3: Remember people were hostile to Jesus when He did nothing wrong—how can we expect anything different.
Especially since WE DO WRONG and often deserve the hostility of others!
Encourage you to study on: vs 4-17 tell us not to grow weary and reminds us of our relationship to God and how He disciplines His children.
Next week is the last of the series.
is the emphasis, but study the 3rd Chapter as well.
Paul reveals a secret in Chapter 3 that was once hidden.
