Hebrews 12
Consider Jesus
Who Endured
Faith is: Living in the Promises of God
as if they are already received.
Walking in and by Faith in God while persevering in trials, persecutions, difficulties and testings.
Faith is: the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen
Recap: Faith acts out of bold confidence
and is backed up by the power of the unseen.
Faith is God using the ordinary to do the extraordinary.
Faith is needed in all situations.
Faith is fueled by God: By His Word and By His power,
By His promises. .

Consider Him Who Endured:
Consider versus considering
Taking careful and attentive thought, decisive
Not, “well I am considering to…“
It’s not a consideration, it is a determination.
Not as if to make a choice, but to be determined of the choice by viewing the example life of the proper and victorious choice.
Therefore…
Let us: This verbiage Is inclusive:
It seems to include not only the writer by also the Lord
Also inclusive is the action list of verses 1-4
Reminder definition:
Cast off, strip off a soiled garment so that a new life in Christ maybe worn and displayed. Looking away from is to be looking unto.
Galatians 2:20, Colossians 3:17, 23
A new view in the zoo.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].
Viewed and considered:
What Jesus endured?
How Jesus endured.
The action of Jesus enduring.
The outcome of the enduring.
What:
Blasphemy
Hurtful and shameful accusations
Scourging and mocking
Brutal beatings
Humiliation and crown of thorns
An insulting robe to shame Him
Mocking
Hostility, hatred, and humility in His hometown
Constant barrage of entrapment and attempted embarrassment
Lied about
Accusations of gluttony and drunkenness
Betrayal
Rejection
(Spurgeon quote)
How:
He considered:
The joy that was set before Him
The action of enduring:
He kept his tongue
His course
His progress
His joy
His focus and purpose
His love of all
The outcome:
He sat down at the right hand of the throne of God
Victory
1 Corinthians 15:58
NKJV title heading:
The Discipline of the Lord
…. do not despise the chastening of the Lord…
Hebrews 12:4-12
The allowance of difficulties:
Hebrews 12:4-11
A course of Live-THE WALK
The “set before”
Vs.1: ate before us
Vs. 2: set before Him
James 1:2-5, 12-15
God allows
He does not orchestrate evil, but is the overcoming to it
Four words back to victory:
And you have forgotten
“Everything that we go through is preparatory for the next thing that we go through.“ Pastor Chuck Smith
