Description

Hebrews 12 reminds us that suffering is part of God’s loving discipline -- part of His training program to help us to grow in faith and maturity. Early believers endured persecution with joy because they held an eternal perspective, knowing greater rewards awaited them in heaven. The writer urges us to look to Jesus, who endured the cross, as our model for perseverance. God’s discipline, like that of a good father, proves that we belong to Him and shapes us to share in His holiness. Though painful in the moment, it produces peace and righteousness for those who endure. Our trials are opportunities to lean on God’s strength, grow in dependence on Him, and prepare for eternal glory with Christ.
