Consider Him
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders (every weight) and the sin that so easily entangles. (ensnares) And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter (Author & Finisher) 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 12:1-3
Consider Him
Consider the Savior of the World who is the sinless Son of God and everything He went through for us.
Consider the rejection, denial and betrayal He went through. Consider the loneliness He must have felt. Consider the bruises and stripes he received from the beating He took. Consider the crown of thorns He wore and the blood that ran down his cheeks. Consider the nails that pierced His hands. Consider the cross he carried and hung on. Consider His death, burial, and resurrection.
When you feel like giving up, consider Him. When you grow tired, consider Him. When you lose heart, consider Him. Keep your eyes on Jesus and don’t stop reading His word. Let the Holy Spirit speak to you as you continue to consider Him. What hinders you? What weighs you down? Isn’t time to let it go? Put the weights down. They are too heavy.
It’s time to consider Him.
