1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. 4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
Hebrews 12:1-4
Run the race, Child of God. Heaven awaits us one day. In the meantime, let us run the race by:
**Living the life God has given you (1)
**Looking to Jesus (2)
**Following the example of Jesus (3-4)
**Running the race for the joy that is awaiting (2)
Run the race!
