    Jesus Christ stated as recorded in John 12:32, that if He were lifted up He would draw all peoples to Himself. In John 3, we see the Lord giving Nicodemus an Old Testament picture of this truth calling for the focus of our faith to be fixed on Calvary.

    In Hebrews 12:1–3. we see various aspects of the race, as they are compared to the faithful life in Christ. Christ calls us to 1) Race Freely (Hebrews 12:1), 2) Race Focused (Hebrews 12:2), and 3) Race to the Finish (Hebrews 12:3)

    In the ancient Isthmian games of Greece, a pedestal stood at the finish line, and on it hung a wreath—the winner’s prize. No one runs a race without some expectation of reward. The reward may be nothing more than a ribbon or a trophy or a wreath of leaves. It may be a prize worth a ...read more
