Text: Hebrews: 12:1-24 – Hebrews tells us to “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…”  We all have a race that we run, a marathon race of this life.  Each of our races is different, but the goal is the same, to finish the race.  Jesus helps us finish our race in life and finish it in faith, so that we join that great cloud of witnesses who have gone before us in the faith.
