Summary
Looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God. But while we don't know who wrote it, who God used to record these words, what we do know is that the book of Hebrews offers advice and encouragement to the early church. When the first word of this new chapter is therefore, it tells you that they've come to a conclusion or the author has come to a conclusion of the argument. So the first exhortation here, the first exhortation is to lay aside the weight and the sin. The wonderful news that through the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ that severed relationship because of sin has been restored. Lay aside, wait and the sin run with perseverance, the race of faith and look to Jesus who's the author and the perfecter of our faith.
