In this continuation of the previous episode, we'll continue looking at our calling as Christians. We may expect an easy ride, but if we look at Jesus' example, we see that love is both powerful and painful. We are called to take up our cross and follow him, no matter what. Our goal isn't to be happy, but to be holy—to be like Jesus.

In order for us to run the race God has for us, we're going to have to undergo some training and do some hard work. We endure for the joy set before us, just as Jesus did in His death and resurrection.
