Scripture Query and Answer: Surrounding Us

Q.-Heb. 12:1: how seeing, or surrounding? M.
A. We are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, not spectators of us, but giving testimony in faith; but the call is to look away from all else to Jesus, the leader and completer of faith. Neither sentiment nor superstition can do anything here but hinder our running the race well; and this can only be with endurance rather than energy.
