Matthew
28:20
“And
teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very
end of the age.”
NLT: “Teach these new disciples to obey all the
commands I have given you. And be sure
of this: I am with you always, even to
the end of the age.”
Hebrews
12:1-2
Therefore,
since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off
everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run
with perseverance the race marked out for us.
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.
NLT: Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a
huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight
that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God
has set before us. We do this by keeping
our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured
the cross, disregarding its shame. Now
he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.
