rwp@Hebrews:11:26 @{The reproach of Christ} (\ton oneidismon tou Christou\). See kjv@Psalms:89:51| for the language where "the Messiah" ("The Anointed One") is what is meant by \tou Christou\, here rightly applied by the writer to Jesus as the Messiah who had his own shame to bear (12:2; 13:12|). There is today as then (Hebrews:13:13|) a special reproach (\oneidismos\, already, 10:33|) in being a follower of Jesus Christ. Moses took this obloquy as "greater riches" (\meizona plouton\) than "the treasures of Egypt" (\tn Aiguptou thsaurn\, ablative case after comparative \meizona\, for which see kjv@Matthew:6:19f.|). Moses was laying up treasure in heaven. {For he looked unto the recompense of reward} (\apeblepen gar eis tn misthapodosian\). In perfect active of \apoblep\, "for he was looking away (kept on looking away)." For \misthapodosia\ see 10:35|.
rwp@Hebrews:13:13 @{Let us therefore go forth to him} (\toinun exerchmetha pros auton\). Inferential particle (\toi, nun\), usually post-positive (Luke:20:25; kjv@1Corinthians:9:26|) only N.T. examples. Present middle volitive subjunctive of \exerchomai\. "Let us keep on going out there to him." If a separation has to come between Judaism and Christianity, let us give up Judaism, and go out to Christ "outside the camp" and take our stand with him there on Golgotha, "bearing his reproach (\ton oneidismon autou pherontes\) as Jesus himself endured the Cross despising the shame (12:2|) and as Moses accepted "the reproach of the Messiah" (11:26|) in his day. The only decent place for the follower of Christ is beside the Cross of Christ with the reproach and the power (Romans:8:1f.|) in it. This is the great passionate plea of the whole Epistle.
