초록
The book of Hebrews is one of the most esoteric books in Scripture. Throughout church history, numerous debates have occurred about the nature of this book. Despite the many debates over authorship, date, purpose, and form, the book of Hebrews clearly captures the plight and struggle of its first-century recipients. Heb 10:32-35 and Heb 12:1-13 show the despair of the audience who seems to have lost the assurance of their faith in the face of severe persecution. Since faithful endurance remains a relevant message for all Christians today, Heb 12:1-3 provides an apt message for those who need to persevere. Therefore this study does an exegesis to Hebrews 12:1-3 in order to find solid biblical lessons. A literary, grammatical, and syntactical analysis of Heb 12:1-3 reveals that the people of God should emulate Jesus, the epitome of faith. Jesus, the originator and perfector of salvation for the people of God, is the most significant model for this faith journey. Jesus persevered through tremendous pain on the cross by looking to God for his joy. After his unswerving commitment, he was exalted by God. Therefore, those who are on this journey of faith should focus on Jesus just as the witnesses in the previous generation did by focusing on the goal ahead, namely the person and character of Jesus Christ.
Abstract
