Hebrews 12:1-4 - Running the Race, Looking Unto Yeshua

Continuing his verse-by-verse study of the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), Brother Gideon Levytam examines the exhortation for believers to run with patience the race that is set before us. Building upon the powerful examples of the "great cloud of witnesses" from chapter 11, the author encourages the Hebrew believers to lay aside every weight and the sin of unbelief which so easily entangles us on our walk of faith.

The greatest encouragement for our endurance is found by fixing our eyes upon Yeshua, "the author and finisher of our faith." Gideon explains that by considering Him who, for the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross and despised its shame, we find the strength to persevere. Yeshua's ultimate sacrifice provides the divine perspective we need to keep from growing weary and faint in our minds as we run our own race.
