Hebrews 12:3-4 ” Consider Him Who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.”

The Writer of Hebrews could not have been more forthright…suffering and persecution is a given, even for brand new Christians. And while many will become faint-hearted at the opposition, including whining, complaining, and giving up…he quickly reminded them that their struggle was far from what Jesus experienced. Galatians 6:9 tells us to not become weary in doing good, and that means looking at hostility for standing up for our faith and thanking the Lord not only for His example, but that what we’re going through is nowhere near what He endured.
