Hebrews 12:3-11 "God’s Gift of Discipline" - Mike Fennema Parish Presbyterian Church Podcasts

Hebrews 12:3-11 3 Consider Him who endured from sinners such hostility against Himself, so that you may not grow
weary or fainthearted. 4 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding
your blood. 5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard
lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by Him. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one
He loves,and chastises every son whom He receives.”
7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom
his father does not discipline? 8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you
are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and
we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they
disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, that we may
share His holiness. 11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it
yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
