Greetings, Ray. I presume you are referring to Hebrews 12:1 (given below from the Amplified Bible): "THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us...." I believe the "witnesses" are the heroes of Faith described in the preceding chapter (11). Notice how the 11th chapter ends: "And all of these, though they won divine approval by [means of] their faith, did not receive the fulfillment of what was promised, Because God had us in mind and had something better and greater in view for us, so that they [these heroes and heroines of faith] should not come to perfection apart from us [before we could join them]." [Hebrews 11:39-40 Amplified] Kind regards, Tim D. Cormier Tennessee Preacher |
