Heb.12:1-3 (Message version)
Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!
HAPPY HOLY WEEK, WELL, really we should be HOLY every day for our Father is Holy and if we want to see Him, well the Word says it all! . . . for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:16-17 Since you call on a Father who judges each man’s work impartially, live your lives in reverent fear during your temporary stay on earth. 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ,as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
Don’t you just LOVE THE WORD OF GOD!
