Bible Reading

1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:1–2

The Founder and Perfecter of Faith
John Norris




Study Questions

  1. How does this passage relate to what came before it?

  2. Why must we lay aside weights and sin?

  3. What are weights—i.e. things that may not be sin in themselves—that can keep us from running with endurance?

  4. What does it mean when it says that Jesus is the “founder and perfecter” of faith?

  5. What does it mean that Jesus “despised the shame” of the cross?

  6. How did Jesus think about joy and the cross?

  7. What does looking to Jesus teach us about running the race of faith?
