Lesson 2183

(Lesson 2183)(11-30-17)  Hebrews 12:1-3
    “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 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 is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.”

    In today’s lesson, we are encouraged to keep our minds set toward Jesus Christ. Disallowing the constant distractions of earthly life while binding ourselves to His eternal grace and His soul saving message to usward.
    “Thou shalt love thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and with all they mind. This is the frist and great commandment. The Second is like unto it, Thou shalt love they neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”~
