Hebrews 12:1-3 "Reflecting Christ"


            “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.”

            Every day we come into contact with an uncountable number of people; young, old, rich, poor, those you know well, those you do not, Christians, and non-Christians, all of them scrutinizing our actions. As followers of Christ, we are given the responsibility to be representatives for Him. It is a heavy burden to bear, but the chapter goes on to tell us to, “Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” When we fix our eyes on Him, we become more than just representatives –we become reflections of Him.
