Hebrews 12 · Grade 3

A Great Cloud of Witnesses

Name Date

Read the Story

Hebrews 12 says we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses. So we should lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily entangles us. We should run with endurance the race set before us, looking to Jesus. He endured the cross and sat down at the right hand of God’s throne.

God disciplines his children because he loves them. Earthly fathers trained us for a few days, but God trains us for our good, that we may share his holiness. Discipline seems hard at the time, but afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.

So strengthen weak hands and feeble knees. Pursue peace with all people. God’s people have not come to a mountain of fire and fear. They have come to Mount Zion, the city of the living God. Let us be thankful and serve God with reverence.
