Hebrews 12:1-2   Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross…

Run the race of faith. Endure the marathon of life with God’s grace.  Persevere beyond trials and obstacles with God’s strength.   Find hope at the finish line!  There are faithful friends cheering you on, right along the sidelines.  Run freely, without the deadweight of sin.  The great race is marked before you, and Christ who authored your faith is perfecting your faith; you have what you need to run, endure and win with joy by God’s grace!
