Hebrews 12:1-2 // Life is a race—but not just any race—it's an agonizing struggle. In order to make it to the end to see God, we need endurance, but our problem is our fragility, our natural inclination to blame-shift, heap-on, and quick-fix. If we are going to run well, we must fix our eyes on the ultimate goal of life: Jesus Christ who has gone before.
