Hebrews 12:1
THEREFORE SINCE WE ARE SURROUNDED BY SUCH A GREAT CLOUD OF WITNESSES
Can you picture them?
There in the 'heavenly stadium' - looking down on us still in the race. Thousands upon thousands of Christians. Martyrs, men and women of God who have fought the fight and won the crown. They are watching us in our earthly struggles.
What is it they are shouting at us? "Go on. Go on. Go on. Don't give up. Don't give up. Don't give up. Victory is in sight. Victory is in sight. Victory is in sight. Jesus Christ is worth it. Jesus Christ is worth it! Jesus Christ is worth it!"
Can you hear the throng? Louder and louder thunders the chorus. Look at their faces. Radiant in splendour; brimming with joy; full of encouragement - for you, my friend, for you!
Who is amongst those cheering, willing us on? Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Deborah, Gideon, David, Samuel, John the Baptist, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, Barnabas, Paul, and myriads more.
My dear friend - you are NOT alone!
The 'Church of God' has existed from the time of Abel until now and tyrants have come and gone; evil men have risen and fallen, but the 'true' Church of God marches on. Like the proverbial steamroller - it rolls on from generation to generation, from century to century and as each succeeds the last, new names, new witnesses, join the cloud and mingle their voices with those already there.
"Go on. Go on. Go on. Don't give up!"
Whatever you are going through "look up to the clouds - look up to the 'Great Cloud'!" Look up and see by faith all those saints who have gone before. Put your hand once more to the plough AND NEVER LOOK BACK.
"Come on, Heaven's children, the city is in sight.
There will be no sadness on the other side.
There'll be crowns for the conquerors and white robes to wear;
There will be no more sorrow or shame.
For the King of the ages approaches the earth
And we shall rise with a shout, WE SHALL FLY!"
Let the rain cloud that surrounds you today, remind you of two things -
Firstly, God is 'reigning' on His throne, and
Secondly, the cloud that looks, so heavy and menacing, is actually the great cloud full of witnesses! And they are cheering you on, to never give up!
