SAA Notes
When you face much opposition to your faith, there is someone whose life we should always turn to and consider – Christ’s. (v.2,3) A time of reflection on His life every day will strengthen you emotionally, spiritually and in every other way. This is the fount of living peacefully with others, the fount to a holy life – the good life.
SJA Notes
* Holy God, Your word to us is true, Your Name is to be hallowed. Please teach us what to do and may we walk in it.
“Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.”
Consider Him!
Look to Jesus, for He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with the same grief we experience.
He is able to intercede for us _and_ He is caring to do this – Doubly so because He is not outside of our sphere of life, but instead came down and dwelt among us.
This is our God.
When we are discouraged with life, disheartened and feeling low, let us be reminded and exhorted to … Consider Him.
* Father God,
Thank You for Your discipline, which is painful for a moment, but yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
May we be trained up in righteousness, by Your working in and around us, please Lord God.
Amen.
