Surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses…
The context (11:39-40)
The great crowd around us
Run the race that is set before you
Throw off everything that might slow you down
Fix your eyes on Jesus…
Most of all, be sure to run!
Loving discipline
We’re each struggling with sin.
Discipline is God’s parental guidance
Discipline leads to a ‘harvest of righteousness’ (vs 11)
