Jesus, The Perfecter Of Our Faith

How do we keep our head above the mud that is trying to smother?  By fixing our eyes, our thoughts on Jesus…. Hebrews 12:1-3 NASB1995

“Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”
