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,
Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.

Looking to Him
Looking to Him
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.
Considering Him
Considering Him
Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

a. Breaking the chain:
Understand the true meaning of struggle
It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
in times of affliction, says the author, keep in mind that all your setbacks come from God; he is training you in godliness and has accepted you as sons. The adversities you encounter are blessings in disguise, for behind your difficulties stands a loving Father who is giving you what is best. God’s children, then, must always look beyond their trials and realize that God himself is at work in their lives[1]
· Understand that the discipline is not giving into sin, but the testing of the faith
o Hebrews 2:18
o Every temptation+ test:
§ Do you Love Me
§ Will you Choose Me
