8. So, What?
• Hebrews 12:1-11 (NKJV)
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great
a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and
the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with
endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto
Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the
joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising
the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the
throne of God. 3 For consider Him who endured such
hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become
weary and discouraged in your souls. 4 You have not yet
resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.

9. So, What?
• And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to
you as to sons: "My son, do not despise the chastening
of the LORD, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked
by Him; 6 For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And
scourges every son whom He receives.“ 7 If you endure
chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what
son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 But if
you are without chastening, of which all have become
partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. 9
Furthermore, we have had human fathers who
corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not
much more readily be in subjection to the Father of
spirits and live?

10. So, What?
•
10 Forthey indeed for a few days chastened us as
seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we
may be partakers of His holiness.
11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the
present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields
the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who
have been trained by it.
