Weary


The Greek word for "Weary" in this verse is the same word the Greek New Testament uses for "sick" in James 5:14.

Sometimes spiritual lethargy leads to physical ailments.

The definitions for "weary" are:
- to lose enthusiasm
- to be exhausted.
- to be fatigued.

The point the writer is making is a test in weariness.

Everyone is subject to weariness:
Isaiah 40:30 (ESV) Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted;

Weariness is  a sign - it may be the result of false expectations in following Christ.  

We cannot afford to think:
  • We won't suffer.
  • We won't be rejected.
  • We won't have to endure hostility.

Jesus did.  Consider him.
Don't grow weary.
