How many times do I have to tell you it's all about persistence.

Hebrews 12

¹ A huge cloud of witnesses is all around us. So let us throw off everything that stands in our way. Let us throw off any sin that holds on to us so tightly. Let us keep on running the race marked out for us.

² Let us keep looking to Jesus. He is the author of faith. He also makes it perfect. He paid no attention to the shame of the cross. He suffered there because of the joy he was looking forward to. Then he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

³ He put up with attacks from sinners. So think about him. Then you won't get tired. You won't lose hope.
