The Race of Faith

1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, alet us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and blet us run cwith endurance the race that is set before us,  
2 looking unto Jesus, the1 author and finisher of our faith, awho for the joy that was set before Him bendured the cross, despising the shame, and chas sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.  

The Discipline of God

3 aFor consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, blest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.  
4 aYou have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.  
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:
a“My son, do not despise the1 chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; 
6 For awhom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.”  
7 aIf1 you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what bson is there whom a father does not chasten?

Hebrews 12:3

Consider - Draw the comparison and think. The Lord bore all this; and shall his servants bear nothing? Him that endured such contradiction from sinners - Such enmity and opposition of every kind Lest ye be weary - Dull and languid, and so actually faint in your course.
