Jesus is Better “Run the Race”
Hebrews 12:1-2 Key Verses: 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, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. (Heb. 12:1-2).
1. Before the race: preparation a. See the witnesses b. Shed the weight 2. During the race: dedication a. We need a pace b. We need a pattern 3. After the race: celebrate a. There is rejoicing b. There is rest |
