Hébreux 12.1

Cette grande foule de témoins nous entoure. Rejetons donc, nous aussi, tout ce qui nous empêche d’avancer, rejetons le péché qui nous enveloppe si facilement ! Courons jusqu’au bout la course qu’on nous propose.

Exhortation à être constant dans nos voies et à persévérer. L'exemple de Christ ; le dessein de la Grâce de Dieu dans toutes les souffrances que les croyants ont endurées. (Hébreux 12:1-11)
La paix et la sainteté sont recommandées, avec des mises en garde contre le mépris des bénédictions spirituelles. (Hébreux 12:12-17)
La dispensation du Nouveau Testament est bien plus excellente que celle de l'Ancien. (Hébreux 12:18-29)

L'obéissance et la persévérance dans la foi en Christ, voilà « la course » que devaient effectuer les Hébreux, course par laquelle il est possible de gagner la « couronne de gloire », ou la misère éternelle, en cas d’échec ; cette course nous concerne également.

Dans l’expression, « le péché qui nous enveloppe si facilement », (premier verset de ce texte), nous devons comprendre : un péché auquel beaucoup d'entre nous sont prompts à succomber, ou à celui auquel nous sommes le plus exposés, que ce soit par habitude, par notre âge, ou suivant les circonstances. Ce texte nous adresse une exhortation très importante : tant qu’un péché reste enraciné dans le cœur d’un homme, sans être combattu ni subjugué, il empêchera celui-ci de « courir » dans sa course spirituelle chrétienne, en lui ôtant toute motivation pour vaincre, et en laissant place à tout découragement.

Que ceux qui sont fatigués et faibles spirituellement, puissent se rappeler que Jésus, Celui qui est Saint, a souffert, pour les sauver de la ruine éternelle. Si de telles personnes portaient vraiment leur regard par Jésus, elles seraient fortifiées spirituellement, en toute sainteté, elles seraient gardées de toute chute provoquée leurs désirs charnels.

Recherchons le plus fréquemment possible la présence de Jésus. Que sont nos petites épreuves par rapport à Son agonie à la croix ? Que sont nos « déserts spirituels », face à Ses souffrances ? Que représentent nos peines par rapport à celles de beaucoup d'autres personnes ? On rencontre parfois chez les croyants une tendance à défaillir dans leurs faiblesses, à succomber facilement sous les épreuves et les afflictions ; ceci est dû à l'imperfection de la grâce qui est en leur cœur et aux restes de la corruption qui subsistent en eux.

Les chrétiens ne doivent pas faiblir, face à l’épreuve. Bien que leurs ennemis et leurs persécuteurs puissent leur infliger de dures souffrances, il s'agit cependant de châtiments que Dieu permet de leur voir supporter ; leur Père céleste « supervise » tout, et Sa Sagesse aura réponse à tout. Face à leurs afflictions, ces âmes ne doivent pas faillir, ni perdre courage, car elles demeurent, malgré leurs péchés, dans « la main de Dieu et sous Sa houlette ». Elles ne doivent pas se décourager ni « crouler » sous les épreuves, ni se tourmenter, mais doivent les supporter, avec foi et patience.

Dieu peut permettre aux impies de rester dans l’iniquité, mais Il corrigera le péché de Ses propres enfants. En tant que tel, Il agit comme un Père. Nos parents ici-bas peuvent parfois nous châtier pour satisfaire un sentiment personnel plutôt que pour réformer nos manières. Mais notre Père céleste ne veut jamais nous faire souffrir par plaisir, ni affliger en vain Ses enfants : Il le fait toujours pour notre bien.

Notre vie entière est en quelque sorte un long apprentissage, il reste bien imparfait quant à notre exercice spirituel ; à cause de notre état pécheur, nous devons donc nous soumettre à la discipline céleste. Quand nous serons parvenus à la perfection, nous serons alors complètement réconciliés avec le ciel et le châtiment que Dieu peut parfois nous faire encore endurer, disparaîtra. Le châtiment de Dieu n'est pas synonyme de condamnation ; il peut être supporté avec patience, pour nous conduire vers une sainteté croissante.

Apprenons bien à considérer les afflictions que nous supportons ici-bas ; si elles semblent provenir des hommes, elles sont en fait des corrections envoyées par notre Père, plein de Grâce et de Sagesse, pour notre bien spirituel !

      Psaumes 18

      23 I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

      Esaïe 60

      8 "Who are these who fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

      Ezéchiel 38

      9 You shall ascend, you shall come like a storm, you shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you, and all your hordes, and many peoples with you.
      16 and you shall come up against my people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land: it shall happen in the latter days, that I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in you, Gog, before their eyes.

      Matthieu 10

      22 You will be hated by all men for my name's sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.
      37 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn't worthy of me.
      38 He who doesn't take his cross and follow after me, isn't worthy of me.

      Matthieu 24

      13 But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.

      Luc 8

      14 That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
      15 That in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and bring forth fruit with patience.

      Luc 9

      59 He said to another, "Follow me!" But he said, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."
      60 But Jesus said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Kingdom of God."
      61 Another also said, "I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house."
      62 But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God."

      Luc 14

      26 "If anyone comes to me, and doesn't disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can't be my disciple.
      27 Whoever doesn't bear his own cross, and come after me, can't be my disciple.
      28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn't first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
      29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
      30 saying, 'This man began to build, and wasn't able to finish.'
      31 Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
      32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace.
      33 So therefore whoever of you who doesn't renounce all that he has, he can't be my disciple.

      Luc 16

      28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won't also come into this place of torment.'

      Luc 18

      22 When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me."
      23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
      24 Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!
      25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God."

      Jean 4

      39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, "He told me everything that I did."

      Romains 2

      7 to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life;

      Romains 5

      3 Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance;
      4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope:
      5 and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

      Romains 8

      24 For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?
      25 But if we hope for that which we don't see, we wait for it with patience.

      Romains 12

      12 rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;

      Romains 13

      11 Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
      12 The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let's therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let's put on the armor of light.
      13 Let us walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.
      14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

      1 Corinthiens 9

      24 Don't you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win.
      25 Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.
      26 I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air,
      27 but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

      2 Corinthiens 7

      1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

      Galates 5

      7 You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?

      Ephésiens 4

      22 that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
      23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
      24 and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

      Philippiens 2

      16 holding up the word of life; that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn't run in vain nor labor in vain.

      Philippiens 3

      10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
      11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
      12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
      13 Brothers, I don't regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,
      14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

      Colossiens 3

      5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
      6 for which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
      7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;
      8 but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.

      1 Timothée 6

      9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction.
      10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

      2 Timothée 2

      4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.

      2 Timothée 4

      7 I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.

      Hébreux 6

      15 Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

      Hébreux 10

      35 Therefore don't throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.
      36 For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
      37 "In a very little while, he who comes will come, and will not wait.
      38 But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."
      39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

      Hébreux 11

      2 For by this, the elders obtained testimony.
      3 By faith, we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible.
      4 By faith, Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.
      5 By faith, Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn't see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.
      6 Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
      7 By faith, Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
      8 By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.
      9 By faith, he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.
      10 For he looked for the city which has the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
      11 By faith, even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised.
      12 Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.
      13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
      14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
      15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
      16 But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
      17 By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only son;
      18 even he to whom it was said, "In Isaac will your seed be called";
      19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
      20 By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
      21 By faith, Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
      22 By faith, Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave instructions concerning his bones.
      23 By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
      24 By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
      25 choosing rather to share ill treatment with God's people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time;
      26 accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
      27 By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
      28 By faith, he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
      29 By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.
