TODAY’S EPISTLE Hebrews 11:33-12:2 Brethren: the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak
and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets, who through faith
subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong,
became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead
raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a
better resurrection. Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and
imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the
sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented –
of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves
of the earth. And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the
promise, God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect
apart from us. Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us
lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the
race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy
that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand
of the throne of God.
TODAY’S GOSPEL Matthew 10:32-33, 37-38, 19:27-30 Our Lord said, “Therefore whoever
confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever
denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven. He who loves
father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than
Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of
Me. Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore what
shall we have?” So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the
Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve
thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or
sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a
hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

               It is hard to get through life without accumulating life experiences that
               leave a mark on us. If we move through our lives and those life
               experiences remain unresolved, they can resurface later and make our
               transition into later life stages more painful and difficult. By learning to
               unpack and heal from painful life experiences, we will be able to make life
               stage transitions more easily, peacefully, and joyfully. By embracing
               humility, insight, self-awareness, and no small amount of motivation, we
               can learn to navigate any life crisis.
