Therefore, since you have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding you, lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and run with endurance the race that is set before you, fixing your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter OF FAITH, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him...so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.Hebrews 12:1-3
