Hebrews 12:1-2

WE ALL HAVE A “RACE” TO RUN…

“…let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us…”
Hebrews 12:1

HOW TO RUN WELL

Remember the “spectators;” consider the example of Christians who have gone before
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses…”
Hebrews 12:1

Drop anything that slows you down
“…let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.”
Hebrews 12:1

Fix your eyes on Jesus
“…let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 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. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”
Hebrews 12:2-3
