Hebrews

Emily:
Hebrews 12 is full of amazing words from God. It reminds us to strip off every weight and keep our eye completely on Jesus while running toward the prize. I love Hebrews 12:2, where it says how Jesus is the initiator of our faith. It says how Christ endured the cross and disregarding its shame. That now he is seated at a place of honor beside God's throne. It reminds us that God is treating us as His own children when He disciplines us and that if He did not discipline us then we would not be His real children. This just reminds us of how much we should submit to God when He disciplines us.
Hebrews 12:14 calls us to live a holy live, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.
