Disciplined Disciples of Jesus Christ (part 2)

What this episode covers

Disciplined Disciples of Jesus Christ (part 2) Bible Reading: "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. 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. And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons:" "“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son.”" Hebrews 12:1-6 Scripture Reflections to Consider: Do you discipline yourself so your Heavenly Father doesn't have to? What are you enduring today? For what purpose? During times of struggle, do you fix your eyes on Jesus? During times of testing, do you focus on persevering, giving Jesus room to perfect your faith? Do you feel shame when you fall? Does Jesus shame you when you fall? (Spoiler alert: The answer is "no".) For more information about our ministry, please visit www.kingdomd.org .
