We should always follow the example of Jesus. Jesus is the leader in our faith. And he makes our faith perfect. He suffered death on the cross. But Jesus accepted the shame of the cross like it was nothing. He did this because of the joy that God put before him. And now he is sitting at the right side of God’s throne.
At that time we were taught about baptisms, {\cf2\super [44]} and about the special act of a person putting his hands on people. {\cf2\super [45]} We were taught about people rising from death and about the judgment that will continue forever. But now we need to go forward to more mature (advanced) teaching. {\cf2\super [46]}
