Hebrews 12:1 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,
This life of following Jesus is not easy. He told us Himself it would not be many times. This life is a marathon not a sprint and we must endure much as we are told above. As the day to day struggles come our way let us be reminded of the great faithful witnesses of the Bible like Moses, Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, Noah, Mary, Peter, Paul, Nicodemus, and John the Baptist. Also don’t forget those godly influences in your life like mom, dad, Aunt, Uncle, a grandparent, Sunday School teacher, Pastor, or even a neighbor who took the time to share Jesus and influence you in the ways of God. All these folks are in heaven rooting for you to endure in the life of following and serving Jesus!
As the verse says there are lots of sins and weights in life that are trying to take us down, keep pushing my friend! This is not your home, heaven is so keep fighting for the Lord and HIS GLORY!
I am grateful that we have a fan club in heaven urging us forward! They have completed their race and may we do the same!
Tom
