Consider HimWhat Does This Mean?

• Tell me About Jesus
• ..Paul states in Heb 122,3
• Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of
  our Faith, who for the Joy set before Him endured
  the Cross, despising the shame, and is set down
  at the right hand of the Throne of God. For
  consider Him that endured such contradiction of
  sinners against Himself, Lest ye be Wearied and
  Faint in your Minds.

• Why should there be a tendency to faint in our
  minds? Satan is putting forth every effort to
  discourage us..
• Consider Him-study his character, appreciate his
  sacrifice, his sufferings, take knowledge of Him
  and his life, learn of Him
• He persevered, He endured, He took things
  patiently, without getting faint and weary.
