Look to Jesus

I. Run the Race v. 1-2

(ESV)

1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith,

who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame,

and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

The Lord says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.”

The Christian life is difficult

The Christian life takes discipline

Look to Jesus

II. Consider Christ v. 3

3 Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself,

so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.

Jesus faced hardship

We will face hardship too

It is worth it
