The Christian journey is a distance race, but often we find ourselves slowing down and beginning to wonder if we will even finish. This experience may be caused by sin that drags us down or by distractions that are not distinctly sinful in themselves. Alistair Begg reminds us that in order to recalibrate our priorities we cannot stir ourselves to moral integrity – we must fix our eyes on Jesus.
Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith
1Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Do Not Grow Weary
3Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. 4In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

These studies in Hebrews present expository instructions on the two related themes woven throughout the book: Revelation - What God has said to us; and Redemption - What God has done for us.
Hebrews brings together God’s redemptive purposes which began in the Old Testament and demonstrate how Jesus Christ is God’s perfect and only provision for the sins of mankind. The totality of scripture moves us toward the centrality of Christ and this study seeks to explain:
- The superiority of Christ over angels
- The inadequacy of the Old Testament law to clear the conscience
- Christ’s fulfillment of what the sacrificial system only foreshadowed
- Jesus as the Great High Priest and King of a better covenant.
