Great Cloud Of Witnesses

Hebrew 12 ESV has been rocking my world the last few days. There is so much in such a small chapter.

Here are a few of my favorite snippets:

“…Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?” 

“…that we may share his holiness.”

“…it yieldsthe peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.”

“…lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, andmake straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.” 

“Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.” 

“This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicatesthe removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.”

“…let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thuslet us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.”

If you have time check out the entire chapter! I’m pretty sure I’ll be stuck here a while longer :)
