December 23, Day 357
What a word picture! We meet the roll call of faith in chapter 11, then begin Hebrews 12 with these words: Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God's throne. (Hebrews 12:1, 2 NLT) It's as if those who modeled faith in the Scriptures are in the stands cheering us on as we follow Christ.
