Hebrews 12:3 NASB "For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Getting knocked down only hurts if we stay down! Today's Word tells us how Jesus was treated by us sinners and that He kept going, and that we should not lose heart or grow weary! They laughed and poked fun of this young man as he tried to state his case. It even got physical as they knocked him down, but he stood back up. I was curious to see what his reaction would be after being pushed to the ground. He stood up, wiped himself off and continued to speak the Truth with love. Having the courage and the strength in Christ, to keep on keeping on shows we understand what the Cross can teach us. That no matter what "they" do to us, we can keep focus that Christ, despite the pain, finished what He was asked to do. May we find the strength to keep on keeping on by looking to the Cross of Christ, and not grow weary. It always comes down to choice, so let's get back up and get going! peace, tom
