I have been running for decades and decades. Hard to believe. There were years in there when running was confined to a treadmill. Several years were walked instead. But I’m still running, and for at least the last two and a half decades, consistently.
In the Bible, the Christian walk is compared to running a race…and running with endurance (Hebrews 12:1-3).
Real runners never leave the track….
Anyone who breaks that centuries-old chain is like a relay runner who abandons the race before finishing. And what’s at stake in this race is infinitely more important than any earthly trophy. Failure to run well and with endurance would be an inexcusable insult to our Lord, an offense against those who have taught us, a disappointment to those who have trained alongside us, and a grievous sin against those to whom we must hand the baton.
Passing Down the Truth
How will you finish the race?
