IT TAKES FAITH
In our journey of faith, we're reminded of the powerful example set by Jesus and the great cloud of witnesses who came before us. Hebrews 12:1-3 encourages us to 'run with perseverance the race marked out for us.' This isn't just about endurance, but about keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. We're called to shed the weights that hold us back and the sin that so easily entangles. This message challenges us to consider: What are we holding onto that's hindering our spiritual growth? Are we truly focusing on Jesus in our daily lives? As we face trials and hardships, we're reminded that these are opportunities to strengthen our faith and deepen our commitment to Christ. Let's embrace the journey, knowing that our struggles against sin and worldly temptations are shaping us to be more like Christ.
