Don’t Forget to Remember Hebrews 12:1-3

It is the VETERAN, not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion. It is the VETERAN, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the VETERAN, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble. It is the VETERAN, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the VETERAN, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote.

The Witnesses Who Surround Us vs. 1a They are seated with the saints of old They have finished their race They made mistakes (weren’t perfect) They arrived at their destination

The Witnesses Who Surround Us vs. 1a They are cheering us on They are seated in the grandstands They are our greatest encouragers They are disappointed in our mistakes They are for us

The Witnesses Who Surround Us vs. 1a They are waiting our arrival They don’t know when we are coming Time is irrelevant to them Today is the day form their perspective
