MARCH 9 – STRIP

03/09          Hebrews 12:1-2

1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. 

STRIP

The Word calls us to strip off our sin.  Think about that.  You stop doing what you have always done and by faith do now what the Lord calls you to do.  Forget about the past.  Live in the present and follow the Lord.  When the evil one comes calling remind him that Jesus is Lord, and that the Father rebukes him.  Remind him that you belong to Jesus.
