Scripture Reading
Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Reflection
The race of faith is not a sprint but a marathon, and Hebrews reminds us that we run surrounded by every believer who has finished before us. The strategy for endurance is simple and inexhaustible: keep your eyes on Jesus. He did not endure the cross because it was painless but because of the joy waiting on the other side. That same joy is set before us too.
