FIX OUR EYES ON JESUS

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

THE LORD DISCIPLINES THE ONES HE LOVES

5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as children? It says,

"My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,

6 because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his child." [Prov. 3:11-12]

7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?
