Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:1-29

Shall we turn now to Hebrews, chapter 12.Wherefore, seeing we are also compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses ( Hebrews 12:1 ),What this does not mean is that the Old Testament saints, which are spoken of in chapter 11, are sitting there in heaven watching the activities on the earth. It doesn't mean that they are just watching us to see how we are going to react and respond and we've got this big gallery up here of Old Testament saints. It does mean that their life of faith and... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 12:1-29

Hebrews 12:1 . Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses. Confessors and martyrs of the ancient church are here supposed to be the spectators of our course, and we are here called upon to follow these veterans of the faith. Their number is such that they are said to be a cloud, like the assembled multitudes seen on special occasions to witness some extraordinary spectacle. Nor is it the celestial host only that are interested in this contest; we are... read more

Hebrews 12:5-6Despise not thou the chastening of the LordHow to bear afflictionsThe proposition that ariseth from the words is this: It is the duty and best wisdom of afflicted Christians to preserve themselves from the vicious extremes of despising the Schastenings of the Lord, or fainting under them.I. To “DESPISE THE CHASTENINGS OF THE LORD,” imports the “making no account of them,” as unworthy of serious regard, and includes inconsiderateness of mind, and an insensibleness of heart. 1.... read more

Hebrews 12:7-8If ye endure chasteningChastening: what is it?“It is for chastening that ye endure”--such is the reading and translation in the R.V. That is the purpose sought and prized; an end that sufficiently justifies God in such dealing with His sons, and that sustains His sons in experience of His dealing. 1. But what is “chastening”? Supposing we had a word that meant child-training, son.training, and this under the direction of a father who would spare no pains necessary for its perfect... read more

5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: Ver. 5. And ye have forgot the exhortation ] Or, have ye forgot the consolation? a Are the consolations of God small unto you? Job 15:11 . Do ye, instead of wrestling with God, wrangle with him, refusing to be comforted (as Rachel), out of the pettishness of your spirits, as he, Psa 77:2 ? Will ye not, as children, eat... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hebrews 12:6

6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. Ver. 6. For whom the Lord loves ] Whom he entirely loveth and cockereth above the rest of his children. That son in whom he is well pleased, saith Mercer onProverbs 3:12; Proverbs 3:12 , whom he makes his white boy, saith Theophylact here. See my Love Tokens. And scourgeth every son ] Lays upon them hard and heavy strokes. When Ignatius came to the wild beasts, Now, saith he, I begin to be a Christian. ... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hebrews 12:7

7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? Ver. 7. God dealeth with you, &c. ] Corrections are pledges of our adoption and badges of our sonship. One Son God hath without sin, but none without sorrow. As God corrects none but his own, so all that are his shall be sure to have it; and they shall take it for a favour too, 1 Corinthians 11:32 . read more
