Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Hebrews 12:1

Hebrews WEIGHTS AND SINS Heb_12:1 THERE is a regular series of thoughts in this clause, and in the one or two which follow it, ‘Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us; and let us run with patience the race that is set before us - looking unto Jesus.’ That is to say, If we would run well, we must run light; if we would run light, we must look to Christ. The central injunction is, ‘Let us run with patience’; the only way of doing that is the ‘laying aside... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Hebrews 12:2

Hebrews THE PERFECTER OF FAITH Heb_12:2 ST. LUKE gives us two accounts of the Ascension, one at the end of his Gospel and one at the beginning of the Acts. The difference of position suggests delicate shades of colouring and of distinction in the two narratives, the one is the ending of the sweet intercourse on earth, the other is the beginning of a new era and a different type of companionship. So in that which closes the Gospel, emphasis is put upon our Lord’s ascension as being parted... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Hebrews 12:4

Hebrews RESISTING UNTO BLOOD Heb_12:4 ‘Ye have not yet resisted’ - then others had done so; and the writer bids his readers contrast their own comparative immunity from persecution from the fate of such, in order that they may the more cheerfully do the easier task devolved upon them. Who were those others? If the supposition of many is correct that this Epistle was addressed to the Mother Church at Jerusalem, the fate of Stephen the first martyr, and of James the brother of John, who had... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Hebrews 12:10

Hebrews A FATHER’S DISCIPLINE Heb_12:10 FEW words of Scripture have been oftener than these laid as a healing balm on wounded hearts. They may be long unnoticed on the page, like a lighthouse in calm sunshine, but sooner or later the stormy night falls, and then the bright beam flashes out and is welcome. They go very deep into the meaning of life as discipline; they tell us how much better God’s discipline is than that of the most loving and wise of parents, and they give that superiority... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Hebrews 12:17

Hebrews ESAU’S VAIN TEARS Heb_12:17 THESE words have Been often understood as teaching a very ghastly and terrible doctrine, viz., that a man may earnestly and tearfully desire to repent, and be unable to do so. Such teaching has burdened many a heart, and has put obstacles before many feeble feet in the way of a return to God. It seems to me to be contradicted by a thousand places of Scripture, and to involve something very much like a contradiction in terms. The Revised Version, by a... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 12:1-8

Persistently Press Forward Hebrews 12:1-8 In one of Raphael’s pictures the clouds, when looked at minutely, are seen to be composed of little cherub-faces; and those who have already witnessed and suffered for God gather around us as a great cloud, like the crowded amphitheaters in the old Olympian games. We are still in the arena; probably every blow and sigh are beheld and heard by the general assembly and church of the firstborn. What an incentive to lay aside all “cumbrances”; that is,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 12:9-17

Endure Chastening; Seek Holiness Hebrews 12:9-17 If we are God’s children, we will not look on suffering as a punishment. Chastening it may be, but not the penalty of sin. It is administered by our Father. Don’t look at the intermediary links in the chain, but remember that Satan could not go beyond the Father’s limit in the case of Balaam or Job. See Numbers 22:31 ; Job 2:6 . It is only for the present; it will soon be over; it is intended to free us of dross and is therefore to profit; it... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 12:1-29

After this rapid survey of the past, the writer makes his great appeal. It is that we "consider Him" who is "the Author and Perfecter of faith." The final appeals of the Epistle fall into four sections. In the first two the causes of weakening faith are recognized (verses Heb 12:4-17 ). In the third we have an epitomized statement of the arguments of encouragement (verses Heb 12:18-24 ), and, finally, we have the last appeal and warning (verses Heb 12:25-29 ). Dealing with their suffering,... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Hebrews 12:1-3

Afterward Hebrews 12:1-3 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The harvest should not be gathered before it is ripe, nor should its fruitage be reckoned upon, until the time for its garnering has come. In spiritualities, as well as in temporals, we must abide the hour of the finished picture. Our Scripture warns us not to judge our life in the light of our present chastening, for, "No chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous." We need to look beyond, and remember that God has said, ... read more

SPIRITUAL ENVIRONMENT‘Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith.’ Hebrews 12:1-Exodus :‘Seeing that we are compassed about’—whether we see it or not it is a truth. There are so many people who seem to live quite unconscious of environment. And what is true of... read more
