2Let us keep looking to Jesus. He is the author of faith. He also makes it perfect. He paid no attention to the shame of the cross. He suffered there because of the joy he was looking forward to. Then he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3He put up with attacks from sinners. So think about him. Then you won’t get tired. You won’t lose hope.
