Fixing our eyes on Jesus

Hebrews 12:1-13

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a

great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off
everything that hinders and the sin that so easily
entangles. And let us run with perseverance the
race marked out for us,
(Hebrews 12:1)



( 12:1)

Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and

perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him He
endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat
down at the right hand of the throne of God.
(Hebrews 12:2)



( 12:2)

Consider Him who endured such opposition

from sinners, so that you will not grow
weary and lose heart.
(Hebrews 12:3)


( 12:3)

In your struggle against sin, you have not

yet resisted to the point of shedding your
blood.
(Hebrews 12:4)

( 12:4)

And have you completely forgotten this word of

encouragement that addresses you as a Father
addresses His son? It says, My son, do not make
light of the Lords discipline, and do not lose
heart when He rebukes you,
(Hebrews 12:5)



( 12:5)

Because the Lord disciplines the one He

loves, and He chastens everyone He
accepts as His son.
(Hebrews 12:6)


( 12:6)

Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating

you as His children. For what children are not
disciplined by their Father?
(Hebrews 12:7)



( 12:7)

If you are not disciplined and everyone

undergoes discipline then you are not
legitimate, not true sons and daughters at
all.
(Hebrews 12:8)


( 12:8)

Moreover, we have all had human fathers who

disciplined us and we respected them for it.
How much more should we submit to the
Father of spirits and live.
(Hebrews 12:9)

( 12:9)

They disciplined us for a little while as they

thought best; but God disciplines us for our
good, in other that we may share in his
holiness.
(Hebrews 12:10)

( 12:10)

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but

painful. Later on, however, it produces a
harvest of righteousness and peace for those
who have been trained by it.
(Hebrews 12:11)

( 12:11)

Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms

and weak knees.
(Hebrews 12:12)

( 12:12)

Make level paths for your feet, so that the

lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
(Hebrews 12:13)


( 12:13)

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a

great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off
everything that hinders and the sin that so easily
entangles. And let us run with perseverance the
race marked out for us,
(Hebrews 12:1)



( 12:1)

Come to me, all you who are weary and

burdened, and I will give you rest.
(Matthew 11:28)


( 11:28)

Do not be anxious about anything, but in

every situation, by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving, present your requests
to God.
(Philippians 4:6)

,
( 4:6)

Consider Him who endured such opposition

from sinners, so that you will not grow
weary and lose heart.
(Hebrews 12:3)


( 12:3)

Simon Peter answered, You are the Christ,

the Son of the living God.
(Matthew 16:16)


( 16:16)

When He had received the drink, Jesus

said, It is finished. With that, He bowed
His head and gave up His spirit.
(John 19:30)


( 19:30)

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer

live, but Christ lives in me. The lift I now live in
the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who
loved me and gave Himself for me.
(Galatians 2:20)




( 2:20)

Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and

perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him He
endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat
down at the right hand of the throne of God.
(Hebrews 12:2)



( 12:2)

He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and

teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that
we may present everyone fully mature in
Christ.
(Colossians 1:28)



( 1:28)

In your struggle against sin, you have not

yet resisted to the point of shedding your
blood.
(Hebrews 12:4)

( 12:4)

In fact, the law requires that nearly

everything be cleansed with blood, and
without the shedding of blood there is no
forgiveness.
(Hebrews 9:22)


( 9:22)

How much more, then, will the blood of Christ,

who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself
unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences
from acts that lead to death, so that we may
serve the living God.
(Hebrews 9:14)



( 9:14)

Because the Lord disciplines the one He

loves, and He chastens everyone He
accepts as His son.
(Hebrews 12:6)


( 12:6)

Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating

you as His children. For what children are not
disciplined by their Father?
(Hebrews 12:7)



( 12:7)

If you are not disciplined and everyone

undergoes discipline then you are not
legitimate, not true sons and daughters at
all.
(Hebrews 12:8)

They disciplined us for a little while as they

thought best; but God disciplines us for our
good, in other that we may share in his
holiness.
(Hebrews 12:10)

( 12:10)

painful. Later on, however, it produces a
harvest of righteousness and peace for those
who have been trained by it.
