Hebrews 12:1
"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so
great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every
weight, and the sin which doth so easily
beset us, and let us run with patience
the race that is set before us,"
In our Christian life we have a goal! The Christian is not an unconcerned stroller along the byways of life; he is a wayfarer on the high road. He is not a tourist, who returns each night to the place from which he starts; he is a pilgrim who is for ever on the way. The goal is nothing less than the likeness of Christ. The Christian life is going forward, and it would be wise if, at the end of each day we were to ask ourselves: "Am I any closer today than yesterday"?
In our Christian life we have a presence, the presence of Jesus. He is the goal of our journey and the companion as we travel on our way. The wonder of the Christian life is that we press on surrounded by the saints, oblivious to everything but the glory of the goal and forever in the company of Him who has already made the journey and reached the goal, and who waits to welcome us when we reach the end.
