There’s a famous line in the movie, Chariots of Fire, that has Eric Liddell saying, “God made me fast. And when I run, I feel his pleasure.” God did make him fast and he ran for God’s glory, but Liddell never said that. What he did say and what most people don’t know, is that he believed, “God made me for China.”

After winning the gold medal in the 400-meter race at the 1924 Olympics in Paris, Eric Liddell returned to China as a missionary. This was the race that mattered most to him… sharing the truth about Jesus with those who had never heard of Him.

Ultimately, Liddell ended up as a prisoner in a concentration camp during WWII, where he continued to serve, counsel, and love the other prisoners around him. An article on washingtontimes.com says, “In the concentration camp, Liddell became legendary and his witness for Christ astounded even many of his fellow Christians.”

Liddell died in the camp of a brain tumor, shortly before the end of the war. But he ran the race that God gave him until the very end. He ran for his life, for the glory of God. How about you?
