Hebrews 12:1-2 (NIV)
“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. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God”.
In this passage scripture the author uses the analogy of a race to depict the Christian life. Personally, I’m not a very strong runner. I cramp quickly and as a result my pace slows down to an easy walk. Throughout the past ten years I have gained a few pounds, which makes it a little harder to run with that extra weight. Sin weighs us down and slows down our pace of pursuing a life, flowing relationship with Jesus Christ.
