Failing To Look To Jesus Hebrews 12:1-13

Looking To Others  Encouraging  Need help  Benefit of the church

Particularly True of Jesus  How often do we look to Him?  Even with regular studying, attendance, and prayer  “To concentrate the gaze upon, looking away from one thing to see another”

His Example  Patterns are helpful Seamstresses Carpenters

His Example  Our example Cannot direct ourselves (Proverbs 14:12; 16:25) Not able (Jeremiah 10:23) Chaotic results Paul followed Him (Galatians 2:20)

More Than A Blueprint  Find strength… When tempted to disobey (Luke 22:42; Hebrews 4:15, 16) When courage fails (John 18:36) When suffering (1 Peter 2:21) When lifted up with pride (John 13:14, 15)

His Sacrifice  Looking to the cross is… Painful A reminder of the horribleness of sin A reminder of the price paid for forgiveness (1 Peter 1:18, 19)

His Sacrifice  Aware of our dependence Humanist: “Save himself” Nothing to offer (Luke 17:10)

His Sacrifice  Aware of His great love Man was sinful (Romans 5:8, 9) Love was the motivation (John 3:16; 15:13)

The Hope Set Before Us  Lifelong race Marathon runner looks past the pain Could lose our will to go on (Galatians 6:9; Hebrews 10:36) Suffering then glory (Matthew 4)

The Hope Set Before Us  Hope in Christ His resurrection our guarantee (2 Corinthians 4:14) His ascension gives us hope (Hebrews 12:1, 2) Would be “of all men most miserable” (1 Corinthians 15:19)

The Hope Set Before Us  A factor in our salvation Many components Among them is hope (Romans 8:24)

Coming Judgment  A dual being Part of it decays (2 Corinthians 4:16-5:10) Other part lives on Judged based on our deeds (2 Corinthians 5:10)

Coming Judgment  See the reality of judgment As He triumphed over sin, so will we His resurrection guarantees judgment (Acts 17:30, 31)

Coming Judgment  Need a daily reminder Live in view of the judgment Life is fleeting (James 4:14)

Conclusion  Looked to Jesus lately?  Ready for judgment?
