We Are Surrounded
Mar 3, 2025 Carter Conlon

Hebrews 12:1-2: Therefore, we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin, which so easily ensnares us and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who, for the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

What was the joy that was set before Him? The joy is that he saw you turning from your sin. He saw your sin being blotted out. He saw you filled with his life, walking with Him forever. What an ever-deepening joy to be had! Oh, thank God that Jesus saw you and me in the garden of Gethsemane, and instead of turning back, he went all the way for us.

It’s time to pray.
