Light The Path For Others

 Hebrews 12:1-2  

"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, Looking unto Jesus the 

author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before 

him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set 

down at the right hand of the throne of God."

    In the 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 forever on the way. The goal is nothing less than the likeness of Christ.
    In the Christian life we have a means. That means is steadfast endurance. It does not mean the patience which sits down and accepts things,but the patience which masters them. It is not some romantic thing that gives us wings to fly over the difficulties and the hard places. It is a determination, unhurrying and yet undelaying, which goes steadily on and refuses to be stopped.
    To God a man must present a clean heart; to men he must present an upright life. To show a man the right way to walk, by personal example to keep him on the right road, to remove from the path something that would make him stumble, to make the journey easier for faltering and lagging feet, is a Christian duty. A man must offer his heart to God and his service an example to his fellow-men.
Amen!
