Hebrews 12:1-3 – There are many things that catch our eye. Some are so grotesque we quickly turn away. Others have an alluring appeal that draw us to gaze longer even to altar our course so that we begin to follow after it. You’re driving along and a bill board catches your eye inviting you to turn at the next exit. Another sign advertising the world’s largest whatever, and you turn at the next road to see if it’s true. Life can do that to us as well. We seem to be traveling along its road just fine and something will grab our attention, shift our focus. The Bible exhorts us to stay focused on Jesus, not to allow the distractions of the world to alter our focus especially when the events of life are difficult to bear. Consider Jesus the writer encourages so that we won’t lose hope or heart to stay the course.
