Scripture/Text: ; Scripture/Text: Hebrews 12:1-3; Rather than a quick sprint, the Christian's race of faith is a long, sometimes grueling, marathon. To help us get through, Hebrews 12.1-3 encourages us to look back at our heroes in the faith; to look up to Jesus, the pioneer and perfector of faith; and to look forward to the hope for which we run this race. All of these “look” gives us the strength, endurance and perseverance to stay the course and get to the finish line.
