“Intently observe and analyze the life of the One who endured such personal attacks and hostility from sinners so that you will not grow weary (in the moment) or lose heart (over time) like the contenders in the Grecian games, who, when exhausted in bodily strength and courage, yield to their opponents.” Hebrews 12:3, with commentary added
With Your Shield, Or On It (Part 1)
“Do not abandon your confidence, which will lead to rich rewards. Simply endure, for when you have done as God requires of you, you will receive the promise. “
Hebrews 10:26-39
