For consider Him
who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary
and discouraged in your souls –
Hebrews 12.3
Don’t be weary in well doing
for in due season you will reap if you faint not.
How do we do that?
Here we see one way –
consider what Jesus has been though.
Okay – got me there. Nothing
I’ve been through can compare to what He has been through for me. Sure, I feel
worn out. Sure I get tired and defeated and discouraged and angry and
frustrated and bothered and sometimes I feel like I have just had it.
When that happens I am
driven my one thing – self-centredness and a focus on me.
That happens because I don’t
consider Jesus who endured the greatest hostility against. He was constantly
opposed and rejected. He was betrayed, arrested, and abandoned. They He was
stripped and mocked and beaten and scourged and spat on and falsely accused and
falsely convicted and nailed to a cross and raised and shame and had His Father
turn His back on Him.
No, what if I do consider
that? If I do, how can I honestly compare by weariness. How can I not carry on?
