God is Treating You as Sons

A number of weeks ago Wayne shared with us from Hebrews 12:1-3 of the joy we share as we look to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. The writer of Hebrews goes on to speak of our struggle against sin and the hardships we face in life. How are we to respond to these things in light of this joy? What would we give for an easier life? One without the pain, struggles and hardships of our present world? We are called to endure our hardships as discipline from our loving, heavenly Father who is training us in order that we might share in his holiness and be fruitful.
