Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-11 Proverbs 3:11-12, In chapter 12, the preacher appears to focus on one sin of his audience, the sin of rejecting Jesus. He says "don't give up, look to Jesus", because Jesus is our model. He assures us that there is a great cloud of departed saints who are witnesses testifying to God's presence. We can look to Jesus for help, because He has taken the seat at the right hand of God. He is our great high priest interceding for us.
